Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

So it is that time of year. Christmas trees, Lights and caroling. But caroling is taken very seriously here in the Philippines. Every one goes caroling and they want, no not figgy pudding, but cash! We have enjoyed many joyous songs but not so much as this one couple's rendition of Feliz Navidad! So as the woman sings, "you wanna wish you a merry Christmas from the bottle of my heart!" Merry Christmas! And may God our Father in Heaven be Glorified this Holiday season!

Our first gift under the tree!


Yes this is what we have under our tree. No Joke! Our Land lord (new one) sent this to us for Christmas! So Now we know we are officialy in the Philippines for our first Christmas! I don't know what to do send a Thank you card or consider it as an insult?!?!?!?

TOP SECRET! We are giving them to the homless ministry at our church! Totaly a regift gift! Hey just for fun, let's confess all our regifts that other people have given us ( I don't want to know if you have regifted anything I gave you!) and then let's compare! I think I will win with this one but who knows?

Did I ever tell you how great Justin is?

Let me just say I am married to a most awesome guy! I told him about my blog telling you that I didn't have any pictures of my place and he told me "honey I took pictures of our place last week." I was so excited! So here is my house! Isn't it huge!!! I love it!


Here is our bedroom, the window gives us a great breeze! It is the smaller but the other room has too big of windows. So this it perfect!



Our kitchen, the door leads to the "maids room" but it's really a hall way so we use it for storage. I love the bar under the cabinets! We bought S hooks to hang everything from! Very useful!




I love that I can hang my mugs but the round sink is kind of lame. Justin did get a new faucet that is taller so that helps! Praise God for all the space!


This is our living room and dinning room all in one but heck it is bigger than our entire old place! So we think it will work!



This is our dinning area there nest to the balcony. And there is our Christmas tree and our photos of all our friends and family!



This is our entertainment center. Justin had built it for our old kitchen and now we keep all our stuff on it including more pictures and our games and just stuff! The door on the left lead to the spare room and my bathroom! I love having my own bathroom!

So next time you are in the neighborhood stop by and visit me! I am mastering the art of home made Tortillas and pie so you might get a treat when you come!
