2010 was the year we got married, got our first place and found out we're having our first kid.
We also spent our first Christmas together as a married couple.
Christmas Eve, we had a dinner at Aunty Mimi's place, where we had a grand time with the usual Christmas fare (clam chowder soup and roast beef!!), as well as playing with the two cutie kids.
Then we headed for Midnight Mass at our Church. Will probably one of our last midnight Masses for a few years as Christian (yes that's the lil' one's name!) comes along next May!
Following that, we headed to the MSC Christmas party and ate and ate till 4am and almost exploded. Gosh, stretch marks, pls stay hidden!
When we got home, it was time to open each other's presents.
My dear husband had wrapped his camera in a shoe box - loaded of picutres of clues as to where to find my presents!So at 5 something in the morning, I was hunting and digging in living room, bedrooms, bomb shelter, you get the idea. And I was grandly rewarded for my efforts. Thanks for ALL the presents dear, I loved them!
We slept a few more hours and then headed to Aunty Lillian's place for Christmas Lunch! More eating! And the kids went crazy with Ewan, as they suddenly decided he was Satay and they 'barbequed' him on the grill, chopped him up and served him to the rest of us. Yummy!After that we headed over to the club to pick up the 4.5kg Turkey for our Christmas dinner with my Mom's side of the family. It was cool cos my grandma and aunts were coming over to our new place for the first time, and they really liked it. We also opened the rest of our presents and I'm really glad we got something for everyone - just made the whole season of giving feel so nice and warm.
Boxing day came and after chilling and lazing around in the afternoon, we went for Evening Mass and then to Shireen's
place for some INCREDIBLE Indian food. Goodness, I think I had never tasted such awesome Nasi Bryani, Butter Chicken and Naan in my life. To top it off there was also Lasagna and Mudpie.The food was great, but most of all, it was the joy and love shared among family and friends that makes Christmas what it is.
The best way to celebrate the birth of our Lord. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
