Daddy (Edgar) Posing
Here he is, the "big boss" himself, presiding over the Christmas festivities.
Tito Jun
Tito Jun, trying his hardest to ignore me as I shove my new camera in his face. This is, I think, my favourite photograph from the evening. Shot with a 1.4 aperture (for those camera-savvy folks).
Ate (Eileene) Debating
I've forgotten what point Ate is making right here. But it was a big one.
Kim and Pippo
Pippo is the other honorary member of the Montclair-First-Floor Coscolluelas. He spends most of his time sitting on the couch and eating potato chips; he also wears a pair of Kim's socks on his feet.
An Unamused Kim and Dad (Edgar)
Kim and Dad, however, are not as amused at laughing at our fellow Americans.
Ate (Eileene) Reading
Our Christmas-time entertainment. Apparently, we Americans are mighty stupid.
Mr. Ron Chang
Honorary Coscolluela family member; this time, impersonating an HP ad.
Christmas at Montclair
Another one of our blown-glass ornaments. Ate has a tradition of buying two new ornaments a year for her and Mike's tree. This is one of mine and Kim's. The other is a red chili pepper.
Christmas at Montclair
This year, Kim and I had a little Charlie-Brown-esque Christmas tree, which sat crookedly in its base the entire time. I thought it was quite charming. I was in charge of buying ornaments this year, and decided to go with a more traditional blown-glass theme.
