As for our family, Marcel's parents and brother were in town. Since it has been 3.5 years from the last time we all gathered together, we decided to have a family dinner and fellowship to close 2011 and open 2012. It was very simple yet memorable. I always LOVE doing this with Marcel's family every time we get together. Praise the Lord, this time Mario could also join us.
For dinner, we didn't do anything fancy. Something quick so we have more time for the more important one: the fellowship. Our dinner was INSTANT NOODLES!!! :-) But they were NOT just regular instant noodles. They were special because they were prepared with love and care from Chef Mamih Santi and Sous Chef Papih Johny.
Only gentlemen dare to wear pink. Only gentlemen would cook ... especially for his family :-) |

First time cooking. Papih's proud face of the result. |
After dinner, we prayed, sang, shared, and prayed and shared ... AND prayed and shared until close to midnight. Unfortunately, we couldn't keep our eyes open till midnight. So we bid good-bye to 2011 and said hello to 2012 about 30 minutes early. But the entire family couldn't thank God enough for the blessings and teachings He allowed to happen in our lives last year and are so excited for the goals and directions God will unfold to us in 2012.
Trying to stay warm till midnight |
Happy New Year, All. Make it a wonderful one!!
