How is your holiday everyone? Christmas was rather quite here probably because we had rain since morning, so most people (including us) prefer to stay inside rather than go out visiting each other. However we still could enjoy our family time on Christmas.
Started with an early Christmas lunch. I guess the cool weather has made us hungry and wanted to eat soon...

As usual we didn't exchange gifts on Christmas day, we will do that on New Year (while budget last, lol). Besides Evan still enjoyed the gifts he got on Christmas events at school and Sunday school, so he didn't really care about another gifts. So we just kissed and hugged each other.
When the rain stopped later in the late afternoon, some of our friends and cousins stopped by at the house to greet us. Some of them brought cakes and cookies. They were nice actually but I was too late to take picture when they were still intact.
Somebody just couldn't keep
his little hands off the cake :)
The next day, on Saturday morning we went to the cemetery visiting my father's grave. We let Evan helped my mom put some flowers on the grave. My father died two years ago when Evan was still 1.5 years old and we want him to keep his memories about his grandpa though it was not that much.

That's how we spent our Christmas this year. There was fun part but there was always missing dad part.
Anyway, today we're going to start our New Year's vacation. We're heading to Puncak, Cisarua today and plan to stay there until New Year. We decided to start our New Year's holiday a few days early to avoid the heavy traffic in the coming days. We heard on the news that people got stuck for hours on their way to Puncak during Christmas, so we wanted to make sure that won't happen to us.
Thanks for stopping by everyone. Have a good Sunday.
The best part of any holiday - being with family and friends.
