This year, we got to have NOCHE BUENA twice!!!
We were at the Catubays in South Jordan with some friends for a hearty pot luck noche buena! There was an abundance of great food, and we had to be careful not get too full because we still have something for ourselves at home!
"early" Noche Buena at the Catubays in South Jordan
We were back at our humble Wymount apartment in Provo at around 10pm. We have some pizza and soda and stuff, like a midnight snack sort of noche buena part 2! we also exchanged gifts, which was really fun. I got a vanilla cinnamon scented candle from Jasmine and Carl got an emergency car kit from Scott. Carl gave Norman new bath towels, and I gave Scott a Japan Mission t-shirt. Of course, we gave little Keana a very cute sweater dress from Gymboree!!! The Milburys had to be home too, so they went ahead a little after midnight... but the rest of us watched SALT (and that movie is now on Carl's favorite movies list).
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
With love from the extended Canlas family
But our favorite part was CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!

ReplyDeletelois, alam mo kasi may kwento yan! kasi tong si carl, the whole day ng december 24, hindi mapakali hanggat di dumadating ung truck ng Fedex - ni ayaw lumabas ng bahay. so nung narinig ko nagpull up yung fedex truck sabi ko "HON! HON! DUMATING NA UNG FEDEX! DUMATING NA UNG FEDEX!" pero di ko parin alam kung ano ung laman ng kahon! hehe :)
