Our Christmas celebration started with a midnight party with Gus' family. We put the kids down to bed at their normal bedtimes and then woke them up at 11:30 to head over to Gus' brother's house for a midnight feast and gift exchange.
There was quite a spread of food - a whole roast pig, wonton soup, seafood noodles, lumpia (filipino egg rolls), Ofelia's fruit salad and we brought a pecan pie. I think the funniest moment of the evening was when Nathan blurted out "Mommy, that looks like a doggy!" (referring to the roast pig) in the middle of the prayer. There were also tons of gifts. What a generous family! Nathan got quite a kick out of "Tita Ofelia Santa" passing out the gifts.
Despite the late/early hour, the kids had a great time. How could you not enjoy cookies at 2 in the morning?
