Great Moments from Christmas 2005

1. Setting up my "Elf Station" at my parents' home! As with every year since I was a teenager, I've been in charge of wrapping all of the gifts from the Cembrano Family. It's my yearly gift to my mom because she hates wrapping gifts. This year was a great night of fun with my brothers, my sister-in-law, my parents and Erwin, not to mention lil' Joshua! This will be the last Christmas that both my brothers will be living at home because both are moving down to Southern California, too! I hope that we continue this tradition of meeting again every year with mom and dad for Christmas!

2. Our "Porch" meeting, with refreshments provided by E! Loved the conversation, loved the jokes!

3. Our viewing of "40 Year-Old Virgin" after the "Porch" meeting, which made it 100 times funnier!

4. How Erwin's Grandma got nothing but pajamas from EVERYONE for Christmas!

5. Erwin's witty comment when we were about to take a group picture:
Erwin's mom: Hey! No ugly faces, okay?!
Erwin: Oh, okay! Myra, get out of the picture!

6. Mig's reply when we asked him "Hey, are you drunk?" Mig: YES!

7. Knocking on Madison's bedroom door to say "hello" to all my little nieces. When I opened the door, all of the girls ran to me and bear-hugged me with all their might! I miss them so much!

8. How 70% of the white elephant gifts were Starbuck's gift cards!

9. My many Borders gift cards!

10. My Yummy Left-overs! Prime Rib!

11. Lovely messages from friends and loved ones, wishing us a Merry Christmas!

12. Watching my dad with his grandson...I could swear I've never seen him so content. Hopefully, Erwin and I can give him some grandchildren, too.

New Year's is on it's way, so resolutions need to be made!
