On The 12th Day Of Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

My past two days have been extremely hectic considering the amount of family time I had yesterday and today. Christmas eve was filled with cooking and family and today it starts ALL over again but with more family. I woke up at 7 in the morning after falling asleep around 2 am, and then I drove over to my boyfriend’s house to open gifts with his family. Here are some pictures of my boyfriend and his family and we’re all in our PJ’s opening gifts!

This is my boyfriend's mom! She is by far the best baker I personally know.

This is their REAL Christmas tree. I haven't had a real Christmas tree since I was in pre-school!

Tommy- my boyfriend's little brother- and his new shirt.

John and his new kindle!

John's new Beatles t-shirt.

John's new sweater and him pouting over the excessive pictures.

Tommy's reaction to his new PS3.

After opening gifts, we ate breakfast and got ready for church. After mass, I took a nap and then John’s mom prepared an early afternoon Christmas dinner for everyone. After dinner, John and I rushed back to my place and then my brother, my dad, John, and I drove to the city to meet up my dad’s side of the family- The big Nepomuceno Family. We ate dessert and John got to meet more of my extensive family. Of course, my family decided to embarrass me A LOT with a detailed “how to kill a chicken” speech, snarky comments from my father like, “I don’t know why Lauren like Loyola Boys” (John goes to Loyola University in Chicago and my dad along with most of his siblings are alumni), and the wonderful baby stories… OH JOY! Enough of the self-inflicting torment of publicly announcing my embarrassments. HERE ARE THE PICS!

All the cousins with my grandma, Lola Nene, minus my older cousin Lavender.

All of my uncles, dad, aunt, and grandma minus my uncle Alvin who couldn't make it.

My grandma, after receiving this beautiful necklace, raises her eyebrow to MY boyfriend and asks, "Now which guy over here is going to take me out on a date?"

John and I at the piano singing and playing Christmas music.

This me giving my grandma the Kodak Gallery Book I custom made for her.

All the "old people" as they would call and gather for a photo.

I am sadly just as short...or just as TALL as my little cousins.

Lastly, this is my adorable little cousin playing the violin to make a dollar or 4 from his family.

As everyone may already tell, I have had an INCREDIBLE yet busy Holidays. I will say though that this is only the beginning, for just like the majority if not all my previous posts have stated, there will be plenty more to come!
