Christmas this year was one of the best. Not only did Santa surprise me w/ things I was hoping for, but most importantly, my parents and family were all together. My parents could've been in the Philippines, but it wouldn't be right. On top of that, it was Jordan's first Christmas with the entire family. I think he got more presents than me =P. He was overwhelmed b/c being that there are 16 of us, there is so much hustle and bustle, and so many presents. He hasn't had that kind of Christmas since he was a little kid. Glad to have brought back a little of his past =) Of course, when I opened up gifts of underwear, the jokes started flying to Jordan and he just turned his head like "I don't know what that is and I'll never see her in those". haha... cute.
At 12am Christmas Eve we did Yankee Swap (our family version of Secret Santa using numbers) and then ate some dessert. After dessert, it was time to distribute the presents. Each person got one or two from each family, so each person got an average of 8-10 gifts. Then starting from the youngest, he/she would sit in the middle and open gifts one-by-one. We finished at 5am. I'm having so much trouble w/ my Internet or something, I cannot update my page, only my blogs. So I can't even post a few pics. So instead, click here for Christmas pictures.
Christmas Day. It was off to go see Jordan's dad in the hospital and give him his gifts. For dinner it was my turn to be w/ Jordan's family. At his brothers house was where we exchanged gifts. I think humor runs in his family b/c everyone was making me laugh. His mother and I almost threw up our food later that night from laughing so much. I love his family.
