Puppy Love

Lunch Break: Mom forwarded me this email... Super cute!!! It definitely put a SMILE on my face today... :)

A PUPPY WITH A HEART

A PUPPY has been born in Japan with a large, clear, love-heart-shaped pattern in his coat. The Chihuahua was born in May as one of a litter to a breeder. Shop owner Emiko Sakurada said it was the first time a puppy with the marks had been born out of a thousand she had bred. She had no plans to sell the puppy, which has been named 'Heart-kun'. The long-coated male Chihuahua puppy was born in Odate, northern Japan.

O, Christmas Tree!

We're keeping up with our family tradition! :)

My journal entry last year:

1 Day After Thanksgiving...
30 Days till Christmas...

One thing that we're definitely thankful for this year: Having a place of our own! We know, we know... it's not our own house yet, but it's great to see everyone and everything having a space of his/her/its own: the kids have their own room, WE have our own room, even Edison's dj equipment has its own room!

Another great thing: Edison and I finally felt that we can start our own family traditions. Last night after coming home from Thanksgiving dinner at Tito Ding and Tita Leng's home in Brentwood, we decided that we are going to "deck our halls" on the Friday after Thanksgiving... every year! I woke up this morning as a child would wake up on Christmas morning. I was so excited to get to Target and buy that white Christmas tree that we've been eyeing on since the day it came out...

As Edison put the hooks on each individually hand-picked ornament... Edward and Alison cheerfully handed them to me... I carefully placed them on the tree... childhood memories of decorating our house in the Philippines came rushing back to me; it put a smile on my face...

Too Cute

This made me smile today...

It reminded me of how playful Edward and Alison get sometimes. Heeheehee...
