My December (In Pictures)


On the first weekend of December we helped our friends move to another town,while the guys are busy loading & unloading, I was busy taking pictures.

then on sunday my cousin asked me if I could help him find a nice place to take pictures, so we went on our little adventure, the place that we were supposed to go was closed for the winter, we got lost, no cellphone signal, but we were lucky cuz' we found this....
Holidays wouldn't be complete without a visit to NYC.
and Bethlehem, PA
On the last saturday before Christmas weekend we had our Annual Christmas Party with Friends...
Our first Visit to Jim Thorpe, PA
Christmas Day was spent with family in Maryland,
On Christmas Eve we all attended the Christmas Eve Mass, had our "Noche Buena"(a filipino traditional dinner on Christmas Eve) and exchanged gifts.....by Christmas Day the relatives came and we had a huge party.

Everyone wants to have a picture with the "Lechon".....
Our Annual Christmas Gift Exchange, it's everybody's favorite cuz' you get to choose your gift & you get to steal someone else's gift if you want...similar to white elephant exchange but the difference was that all the gift was from my aunt....
A few day before new year, I've read somewhere that Boyd's Bear Country in Gettysburg, PA is closing for good....Hubby & I had so much memories there when we were still newlyweds, so we had to visit the place one last time and hoarded a box full of teddy bears..

and spent the last sunset of 2010 in Big Round Top & Little Round Top
at Gettysburg Battlefield....
2010 has been an eventful year for us, it has its ups & downs, happiness & heartaches..I have made precious new friends, new experiences and amazing adventures....
Goodbye 2010, hoping to make 2011 even better....

My December....(In Pictures)

As some of you know, I love the Holidays....I grew up believing in Santa Claus, I enjoy the parties, I've always been the first one to do the decorating, wrapping and giving gifts & the shopping..(well,It's the time were you can spend too much without being guilty..hehe), I used to plan all the details from personalized cards to making my home look & even smell like christmas...but this year has been different..I didn't get the chance to do most things that I do every holidays or everything were done on a hurry so I get so frustrated at times (me being OC), but at least we still get the chance to be with friends & family....so I'm still Happy:D
so this is my December in pictures....
