Every year on the first week of December, Auntie Jean and Jordan hold their joint birthday
celebration at A-ma's house. For me this occasion officially marks the start of Christmas
because, as you can see, the house is so Christmassy! :)

I also get to catch up with my "Fatherside" of the family. That's Auntie Judy on the left, 
and Ninang Nena on the right.

Dinner was simple home-cooked food prepared with love using my A-ma's recipes. 
After traveling near and far to eat the world, sometimes all I want is something
uncomplicated and familiar, such as...

As you can see, A-ma was more interested in my love life than the camera. Lol! :D
