December 31, 2007, Monday. We arrived in New Jersey early morning of December 31 after that 38-hr trip. Of course even if our bodies felt like lying on the bed, we were too excited to see my cousin K and his family, my Aunt S and Uncle C.
We only had time to take a shower before the rest of the family (K's brothers with their respective families) arrived.
We spent the whole day and evening celebrating with lots of good food and updating each other about our lives (the last time we connected with some of them was 3 years ago when some members of their family went home to Manila, but I haven't seen the rest of them in maybe 10 years!).
It was a good way to celebrate the coming of the New Year -- the excitement of being in a new place and feeling right at home in the company of family.
