My Sister's WEDDING at CHRISTMAS in BOHOL

It was mid-November, I have blogged about my sister's husband who was going home from the US to see her (read here). At the beginning she didn't know anything about the plan, supposed to be a surprise but it seemed to be difficult for me to organize everything from here, so he decided to tell her, also to fetch him at the airport.

It was our CHRISTMAS PRESENT for both of them - the CHANCE TO SEE HIS WIFE (paid his return airfare) plus their SECOND WEDDING in the Philippines! Their first wedding was when my sister was in the US to work, have met him and after three months they decided to get married, mind you guys WITHOUT EVEN TELLING US SHE WASN'T GETTING MARRIED! She told me a few weeks after and sent me the photographs! Photos below was their wedding in the US (without any member of my family)..Anyway, they had a lovely wedding though with AVOCADO GREEN MOTIF (this time without his family). They both wore the same gown and suit on their first wedding. All my sisters were their BRIDESMAIDS (they were 4 excluding my sister in Taiwan and myself), our only brother was their BIBLE BEARER and our cute 1 year old NEPHEW (1st grandchild of my parents) was their RING BEARER (that short little man below) LOL... They totally forgotten to include my brother-in-law (father of my nephew)... shame! CONGRATULATIONS to both of you, best wishes and make God the center of your family! A double celebration and one time preparation (Wedding and Christmas Eve) good idea sis!!... Hope to see you next time with little James or Joy, but please let us have ours first okay... hehehe...

What A Happy CHRISTMAS for my Hubby's Nephew

Few weeks before Christmas, I thought of shopping online to buy some TOYS for ALFIE as Christmas present (my hubby's nephew and his parents' first grandchild), but I have totally forgotten about it! Well, it was the same story as well with the flowers we have sent through, lucky we managed to recall of doing it the night before Christmas Eve (click here to read the whole story)...

In any case, he got loads of presents from Nanas and Dadas (both sides), from his uncles and aunties, and from his Mum and Dad too. Here's some photographs of this lovely and gorgeous little boy. I believe he's going to be a miner as well same as his uncle Stuart (my hubby) :)...By the way, another failure.... wink :), we didn't manage to phone them neither Christmas Eve nor Christmas Day, we do apologized! Apparently, they were waiting for our call. Until we received an email from my Dad-in-law (Sunday after Christmas)... bad children... lol!!, aren't we?

----------------------------------------

"Merry Xmas to you both and many, many thanks for the flowers, chocks and drink. They arrived Xmas Eve. It was a lovely suprise and again many thanks. It is very cold here, no snow just dry dull and with a cold wind. We had Xmas day round with Claire Steve and Alfie. Here are some photos taken that day and as you can see Alfie is really into dumper trucks, diggers and front loaders, etc.! He had a good time. Boxing day Mum and I spent on our own. Tomorrow (Monday) Mum and I are going up to stay with Betty and David for a few days probably returning next Sunday to collect dogs from the kennels on Monday 5th Jan. Mum really could do with a break from looking after Alfie even though he is good and a lovely boy a break will do us both good and it will be good to see David and Betty again as David's health is not as good as it should be. Betty seems to be feeling better though.

We saw Madz blog and all the pictures etc. and we will continue to follow it. great viewing.

All the best to you both with all our love and best wishes for a Happy New Year...

Love

MUM & DAD
