Triple special day!

This is our sweet friend, Lily. She and her husband kindly bought us this beautiful Christmas tree. And another friend of ours gave us the money we needed to buy decorations for the tree and around the house.

So between these two couples and provisioning, our expenses for Christmas decorations came out to be a grand total of $30 pesos. TYJ!


The aforementioned couple, Enrique and Lily.


Well today, the 29th of December, was a triple special day for 4 different people. First of all it's my moms 51st birthday!! Secondly it's Kenji's 16th month day!! :) And thirdly it's Enrique and Lily's 5th anniversary!!

Because of this we, Mig and I, decided to make mom a special delicious Mexican dish, "Chiles Rellenos". This particular dish while "simple" is very laborious due to the tedious process the chilies undergo.

That's why I gave that particular job to Mig -- aren't I a kind sister? :D It's a tricky job getting the fluffy mixture for the chilies just right, but believe it or not the "Chiles Rellenos" came out, just barely :).

And here you have the famous Mexican dish.


To tell you the truth we were making this special dinner to celebrate mom's birthday, but our friends unexpectedly paid us a visit. They had come to congratulate mom and brought her a present and cake. So sweet.

And since mom knew it was they're anniversary as well she invited them to accompany us for dinner. Hooray! The more the merrier, right? And that's how this day became "Triple special day".


Of course Kenji has eyes, and fingers, only for the cake.


Yep, that's right, shove it all in.


Aww, so sweet!
