christmas was wonderful. i told my husband after we took down the christmas tree, 'now i have to wait another year for the holidays to arrive.' it truly is the most wonderful time of the year. i love how most homes are decorated, everyone seems to be in a better mood. hopefully, we get to spend this christmas in the philippines. i haven't celebrated christmas there in about 10 years and i am really looking forward to it.
next update....
superbowl. aaaaah!!! the agony of defeat! it was heart breaking to see our home team comeback after a large deficit only to come up 5 points short of victory! oh well! what can we do? paul said, 'the niners are a young team. we'll get them next time.' o di ba optimistic!
trips i am looking forward to this year....
for michelle's spring break, we are going to california adventure and universal studios. we had originally planned on going to oahu for spring break but by the time we were ready to purchase our plane tickets, they were $800 each. waaay more than what i had hoped to pay. so the plans changed and we're going to see the new cars land at california adventure instead and then heading to universal studios (i have never been!). it should be a good trip...i do dread the drive through southern california traffic though.
so we moved our trip to hawaii to summer and instead of going to oahu, we're going back to maui! yey! can't wait to go back there and eat at star noodle!!! i like maui because it is more laid back than oahu. i remember seeing sugarcane fields as we drove thru the highway. when we go this june, we'll do the road to hana and explore the rainforests and waterfalls of maui. can't wait!
michelle turns 7 this year so we've sorta started thinking about what to do for her birthday. most people have told us that the 7th birthday should be a pretty big bash (in filipino culture). i'm not a big birthday person myself but we'll see. i would rather go on a trip (obviously) than spend the money on a birthday party but michelle wants a party and paul wants a party for her so i really don't have a choice. what are your suggestions for a 7th birthday party?

Since she likes pink stuff how about a strawberry short cake theme party :)
Jed celebrated his 7th birthday at the after school daycare not that big of a party I served pizza, hotdogs and made cupcakes for the kids and teachers. I managed to hire a magician. He had Toy Story as the theme. The smiles on Jed's face and his classmates while they were having fun was priceless.
Any type of party you'll give Michelle, I'm sure she'll be thankful and make lots of memories.
