More Christmas Photos

Christmas 2004
Christmas 2005
I think 2005 was the only year that we didn’t spend Christmas Eve at my parents’ house. This is because they had just returned from a trip to the Philippines and weren’t ready for company. Brian and I spent the evening with Kuya Dominic and Ate Jane and their family. Brian was working at LSI with Kuya Dominic at the time. Diddy, one of their coworkers was there too.

Ghosts of Christmas Past
Posted on December 18, 2010 by Ching under Family, Life.
Christmas 2000
This is the year that Brian and Matt got their barongs.
We generally spend Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with Brian’s. We didn’t want Hobbie to spend Christmas Day by herself so we took her with us to Brian’s parents’ house so she could spend Christmas Day with us and the rest of the animals. No one should spend Christmas Day alone.
We piled ourselves and all of the presents into Neo, the Neon. The car was packed!
Brian looks like he’s barely in his 20s, but he was actually 26 in this photo.
This was also the year that we all went in on a digital telescope for David.
Christmas 2001
The first and only Christmas that we hosted at our house. We had both Brian’s family and my family over on Christmas Day. The pictures are somewhere, but I think they haven’t been scanned. I’ll have to check my old photo albums.
For now you can check out pictures of our tree…
Our living room was filled with presents. There was hardly any room for people!
Christmas 2003
I’m not sure what happened to the rest of my pictures from Christmas 2001 and I can’t even find any pictures at all from Christmas 2002. They are somewhere. I just can’t find them right now. Anyway, we are going to fast forward to Christmas 2003.
Logan was only three and so cute and adorable. He is still cute and adorable, but he’s on his way to being a teenager now. How time flies!
As with our tradition, ever since Logan was born, the Cannadys were present for our Christmas Eve celebration at mom and dad’s house.
Logan took this photo of me that is one of my favorites to this day.
Some more photos by the little guy…
By the way, that’s sparkling apple cider that Brian is drinking. We discovered that we liked it after we had some in the limo on our wedding night. They put a bottle of sparkling apple cider in car for us in place of champagne because we told them that Brian is allergic to alcohol. He didn’t drink back then. He didn’t realize that he could drink until recently.
As always, there was an insane amount of presents at the Brubakers’…
There are way too many pictures for me to post here. If you want to see the rest of the pictures from Christmas 2000 or Christmas 2003 just follow the links. When I find the missing Christmas pictures from 2001 and 2002, I will post them here also.
I will be posting other Christmas pictures between now and Christmas Day so please check back for updates. 🙂

Family Dinner at Carrabba’s
Posted on December 5, 2010 by Ching under Family, Food and Drink.
You already saw the food photos at FOODIES, but now here are the people photos. The first one is of Donna and David, followed by Kim’s parents Kathy and Ken. Then Chris Feifel who picked up the dinner tab that night. 🙂
Kathy’s Cannelloni got burnt so they had to remake it. Brian gave our server a hard time by telling him that Ken and Kathy came call the way from Canada to eat at Carrabba’s and we didn’t want their first Carrabba’s experience to be less than stellar. Of course, Ken and Kathy came to be with family. Dinner at Carrabba’s was just a bonus.
Not only did they comp the Cannelloni, but they also gave us a couple of things of the delicious apple dessert to share. I just love, love, love Carrabba’s! The food is always great and they always take care of you.
P.S. My phone was out of battery so we had to take photos using David’s Blackberry. Thank you so much for taking photos and sending them to me!
P.P.S. Carrabba’s blackberry sangria is probably the only sangria that’s better than mine. You’ll have to try it next time you’re there, if you haven’t tried it already. It’s simply delicious!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year at the Brubakers, as always. I’m so looking forward to coming home and eating some leftover banana-chocolate-vanilla pudding!
Here are pictures from Thanksgiving 2009 and also Thanksgiving 2008 if you are in a reminiscing kind of mood. Enjoy!
