Noche Buena!


Finally its the day before christmas! In Philippines this day is more exciting than christmas itself. On the 24th, we sit all together on the table eating delicious food and of course give gifts!

This year I didn’t have much time to put up the christmas tree and some other christmas decorations. But Niels has cooperated a lot on the 24th! He slept long the day giving me all the time to put up the christmas tree, clean the house and prepare the Noche Buena!

When he woke up we talked to Lolo and Lola on skype. Although the lighting was not that good (so they can barely see us) it’s the thought that counts (we always say), we were still able to say Merry Christmas to each other LIVE!


Niels was sitting with us on the table



He ate with us (also had mashed potato!)


And opened the gifts for us


He was so happy and dancing the whole night to the christmas songs!
It was a fun Noche Buena with Niels, Papa, Oma and Opa.


And the best gift we received that night???
Wrapped inside a pamper box!


PS here is also a glimpse of my family in Manila with their christmas tree during the warm christmas day!
