ho,ho,ho, merry christmas!

Tonight we had our annual christmas party except this year we went overboard with food.Words can't really explain how much food there was so a picture will suffice. After everyone was done eating, we could of probably still fed all the homeless people that lived under the bridges in houston. The food pictured here was not complete. There was also a big pan of menudo, 4 fully stuffed chili relleno milk fish, and another pan of chilean sea bass. Man, just thinking about it overwhelms me!!!

Karaoke was another hit at this annual xmas party. i opted out right away and hid in the sunroom on the couch while i watched my sister sing and perform a mini concert for the next 2 hours. hahahah.


One thing i enjoy about our xmas get together are the babies that arrive at our house. They are the source of my amusement. This year thaddeus was my entertainment. I love one year olds because they speak jibberish and dont ask you complicated question like why is the grass green? ( this was the number one question i use to be asked when i use to babysit---and it really is a complicated answer!!) .

Tonight I had an interesting convo with Thad:

Me: Thad! Do u want to pet Lucy?
Thad: (inquiring voice) ja jog je jaddy?
Me: ok! Lucy!! (Lucy walks towards thad)
Thad:(flailing his arms) AAAA-----EEEEEEEEE!!!! (starts running away)
Me: (picks thad up) what's wrong,you dont like dogs?
Thad: EEEEEE---jonnoooooonoo---noooo
Me: What's that on ur shirt thad?
Thad: (looks at shirt) JoG!!!
Me: Awe, u have a dog on ur shirt but yet you dont like dogs?
Thad: (looks at me like...what the hell lady, why are u asking me questions you know i cant answer? shiiitt...) haha i love babies.

This is the third christmas without my mom being here and now its just the three-- well the four of us now. Things are definitely different but every year i slowly start getting use to it. I only had one minor breakdown at HEB but that's a major improvement from last year. :)



We got some pretty interesting presents. The most interesting present was a necklace with a cross on it. If u held it up to the light and looked through the center piece of the cross, u could read the lord's prayer. There were specific rules to this gift however, and the rule was as follows:
- even though it was a necklace it was not to be worn as a necklace on your bare plain neck but to be used to serve as a bible trinket or basically jewelry for your bare plain bible. Oh the joys of being SDA i tell u!!

Along with the interesting gifts, i received some green gifts that totaled $450 dollars!! I guess i wasnt on the naughty list this year! :)

As i wrote on my earlier post, tomorrow were spending xmas with the gf and her kids so we'll see how that goes!!


Merry Christmas!!!!
