Christmas 2012

This Christmas was special since the family basically spent the holidays with a complete cast.

We kicked it off by having a Christmas Eve brunch at my Dad's house, with all my brother and sisters there.

 

Noche Buena was at our house with our special guest from Hawaii, my father-in-law.

 

Ham!! Cochinillo!! Prawns!! Highblood!!

 

And the best part of course, is seeing the smile on the kids' faces during opening of the gifts.
