This year was our first time having the whole fam (both sides of the family) over for Christmas at our place! It was chaotic, trying to fit 15 people into our tiny home, but lots of fun. :) We missed Kenash this year though... first year without them. *sniff* We had a traditional Chinese Christmas dinner -- no, not a Christmas ham... Christmas hotpot! :)

And I'm 27 now. When people ask me how old I am, I have to stop and subtract 1981 from the current year -- I stopped keeping track after the teens, I think. It doesn't really matter after that. :) The only important ages to look forward to are 16, 18, and 21. After that, there's nothing until 55, when you get your senior citizen discounts! :P

To be honest, I'm starting to feel old... Everyone has been dropping random hints or pressuring us to have BABIES! Dude, none of my friends (my age) are expecting yet, so I don't know why I feel pressure to. Maybe it's because Tony is 31. The advice I've been hearing a lot is "start early." Part of me is totally ready and excited (shout out to my faaaavorite show, Jon & Kate Plus 8), but a part of me wants to wait. We should enjoy our time as DINKs (dual-income no kids)... I know life will never be the same once you become a parent.

Anyway. God knows what the best time is. When God wants us to have babies, there's no stopping God. ;) So we might as well trust Him in the meantime. Happy birthday, dear Jesus! And now 2009 is already upon us. And I didn't even get a chance to make my pomegranate cheesecake.
