Hope you all had a blessed Christmas.
Rico arrived on the 21st a day early. Thank God he didn't come home without calling me or he would have found out his gift. I bought it on wednesday and that's why I wasn't able to wrap it yet on thursday morning. I woke up from a call from our friend because he said he was dropping the girls' gifts so I got up and after getting ready I received a call from hubby. I thought maybe he got a signal in the middle of the ocean or something that's why he was calling but I was wrong, he was coming home. He said he was going to surprise us but he couldn't wait anymore so he called and told us he was coming home. Thank God I had time to wrap his gift. hehehe. I was able to wrap the gift before he got home. The girls were a little mad at him. I think they're in the stage where they're wondering why he was gone for so long. Jelynn didn't want to be touch by Rico. She fell asleep crying because Rico tried to hug and kiss her. My heart breaks for them. But at least when she woke up she went to daddy and ask:
"Daddy, is it Christmas yet? Mommy told me that when you come home it's going to be Christmas."
But of course I have to correct her. I said, "I said when Daddy comes home it's going to be almost Christmas." Hehhee. She can't wait to open her one gift she said. We had to lie because she found out where we were hiding their gifts so we had to lie and told her that those were for her cousins. After throwing tantrums she finally accepted that those were for her cousins. But her ninong Sarry came and dropped their gift for the girls so she knows she has only one gift heheh.
Saturday we went to the Holiday of Lights in Del Mar Fairgrounds. I know the girls would love to see all the decorations and I was right. They girls enjoyed looking at all Christmas Lights. The traffic was bad though. We were there for over an hour even before we reached the ticket booth. Since Rico was sleepy I was driving inside the fairground. By the time we reached the gate for the decorations, Rico & Jelynn were asleep. I had to wake them up lol. We were having a hard time waking up Jelynn but if we let her sleep thru it she'll be so mad because we told her she'll see it. After about five minutes she finally woke up and I saw delight in their eyes. I had Rico take pictures because I was driving. I hope he got some good shots hehehe. Haven't uploaded yet. Pictures will come soon. After that we had to-go from PF Changs.
Sunday, Rico cooked the whole day while I slept hahaha. I'm so bad. I was so sleepy that Rico cooked embutido & sisig for our dinner. I woke up at around 3pm. I did the laundry when I woke up and put them away while I was cleaning the house. After that I cooked rellenong bangus since Rico didn't know how to cook that. We had buko pandan & leche flan for dessert. We attended the 10PM mass and when we came home we had a late Christmas dinner. After that we had the girls open their gifts. The excitement on their faces were priceless. Since Jelynn thought she only got one gift. When we told her she got more gifts. She was so happy. Jewelle didn't want to open the rectangular boxes. She figured it out that those were clothes hahaha. Gosh why kids are so smart? She opened a gift and then she didn't want to open anymore. She wanted to go play with it lol. After they opened all the gifts, the living/dining were a mess. Rico kept telling me we over did it haha. I know we did. I'm not denying the fact that we gave them too much this year just because we don't give any gifts for their bdays. They'd rather go on vacation anyways hehe.
Christmas day, just a three of us in the house because Rico got 24 hour duty in the ship. He'll be home tomorrow just in time for after Christmas sales hahaha. The girls just played with their new toys while I tried to organize my files and catch all my teleseryes. It was a miracle that Jelynn never did touch the computer even once today. She was too busy with her new toys. My Daddy called and said the girls have more presents coming when they come here over the new year. Now I'm wondering where I'm going to store all their toys. Might have to go buy a big toy box tomorrow. Still haven't assembled the Ariel talking Salon & Talking vanity. Jewelle's fave gift was from her Ninang Cherry & Ninong Sarry. It was Tickle Me Elmo Xtreme. She was copying elmo whenever elmo get ticklish. It was hilarious. Jelynn's fave is her Cinderella laptop.
So that's our Christmas weekend. Pictures will come tomorrow hopefully lol.
