Christmas

French toast breakfast, yum! NJ must have asked about twenty times to open his gifts. I kept telling him that he had to wait until we were all up, and after we eat breakfast. That was a pretty long wait for him. I just really wanted us all to sit down and have a nice good breakfast together. And it gave him some patience. 

Finally some gift opening. It was once again, all for him! We loved watching him open them, though. I'll be sad for the day he doesn't have this smile on his face and the excitement that he has. As excited as he was, we only let him open one gift to actually play with. We put most of them away to take them out little by little. It's also time to put some away. 

Lunch at Tai-Ma's (great grandma's) house with Baba's relatives. NJ liked the cream corn and lumpia the most. For dessert, leche flan and cheesecake. 

I was happy to be feeling more myself again and happy to have a relaxed day spent with my two favorite boys. For NJ's advent calendar, I asked him everyday for something he was thankful for. I'm glad I did it, I think I'll make it a tradition. He had some good ones... Mama, Baba, Ah-ma (Acura and Toyota), Ah-gong, Gong-gong, Ah-goo, Ah-gim, teachers, church, school, food... I'm thankful for NJ, our best Christmas gift. It's always extra special to think about the Christmas day that we found out about NJ and knew we'd be family of three. I'm grateful for our health, my two loves, the ones that surround us, and so many little (and big) blessings in our lives. I love celebrating Christmas as a family of three.
