The Christmas tree is up early and the kids are excited to put up their socks for Santa. Here is Luigi's Christmas sock. This one is Zoe's Christmas sock. I wonder what Santa will bring the kids this year. Hmmm....

Spruce Up Our Home

I will be receiving a hefty bonus by early September and one of my plans is to buy a few items of furniture to spruce up our house. For me, one of the major areas in the house that needs some sprucing up is our dining room. You see, our dining room already has a beautiful eight-seater dining table made up of Narra and Mahogany wood. It was especially designed by my Dad and we had it custom-made by a furniture maker.

Our Humble Christmas Tree

As inspired by the blogs of other mommy bloggers, here's my post regarding our tree. Our helpers just finished decorating our simple 7 foot Christmas tree.

Since I don't have the budget to buy a new set, I decided to just use it again one last time (or whatever). I'll just buy a new set of decors next year. In addition to our tree, I just bought some outdoor decors from the DBP Tiangge. This one costs only 450 pesos. Zoe loves it! Next project -- our Advent wreath and Belen. I already bought a plain green garland in Tabora St. but I'm still looking for candles (3 violet and 1 pink). Do you know where I could find these?
