First of all, we should thank our Almighty God for all the blessings and for keeping us safe during the pandemics. Its been a tough year and we deserve a prosperous, happy, wonderful and blessed 2021.
We spend the day before new year at BudLhed's house. Dirk is slowly getting used to the house and he always look forward spending a day or two there. We also had lunch at Racks and buy something in the market.
By the way, just wanted to share to you my harvest for the day ...
After a tough and challenging year, we deserved to spend happy moments with neighbor friends. Following health and safety protocols, we are very careful in interacting with them. Our stripey party was held at Mariz' home and it was fun. Though i am not feeling well that time because of my acid reflux, i still joined them. As always, foods are potluck and we even have some zumba session after eating. Sometimes big girls just wanted to have fun, after all its what we need after 9 months in isolation.
After celebrating the holiday with my family and loved ones, we also spend christmas with friends. This year, the Huston family is our host and we had a great time. Actually, its the first time after 9 months that our husbands bond with each other because of the pandemic. As usual, Dirk don't stay long, he is always the eat and run type. Anyway, we really felt the love and concern of our neighbor friends and we also received gifts from them. This is a late post but still, i want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a blessed/happy new year ahead of us.
Time flies so fast that its already a decade that my daughter Rose Belle is celebrating Christmas away from home and so with Astrid/Buddy in Qatar. On this occasion, we are just sending lots of love and good wishes for them. They are also celebrating their own Christmas and i know they are happy seeing us through video calls. That is one of the advantage of new technology, they make families and loved ones closer even they are thousand miles away. May 2021 be a better year for everyone and i wish they can reunite with us soon, explore life again with the new normal and lessons learned.
In this time of pandemic, celebrating christmas with family at home becomes the best options. Christmas is all about love and family and it doesn't matter how we celebrate as long as the holidays are spent with our loved ones. For the past years, we are celebrating christmas in restaurants that is accessible for everybody. Now that the Casa ManaRosa is finished, we decided to have our family christmas bonding and gift giving there. The foods, drinks and fun overwhelmed the new house. Its really the time to appreciate the love and importance of family & express our gratefulness for every blessings we received.
