2014 Hernandez Christmas Party

It's a yearly thing! Every Christmas, it is a must that we all get together for a reunion and a whole lot of fun! That's how HERNANDEZ celebrate the season of loving and giving!

It has been two years in a row that we celebrated our get together at Maria Paz Resort in San Pablo City.  

This is where both children and adult can enjoy because aside from the swimming activities for the kids, adults can have time to just relax under the sun by their cottages and grass.

For this event, we rented three gazeebos.



Of course foodies will not be missed.
What we do is that each family will bring a dish (voluntary) and we all did!  Buti lahat ay naki cooperate. :p



Picture taking can never be avoided.




Before we start the program, we have to fill our stomachs first..




Then on to the games..
Mama and I will always be the game masters because we really love games!!

Kids were tentatively and excitedly listening to the mechanics.
They are all my nieces and nephews and inaanak! Oh my, I feel so old!




My first game is "Bring down the Cans".
With the help of a ball -- all they have to do is to throw the ball and bring down all the cans! That easy!




The kids enjoyed and so I want to make sure that the not so young peeps will also enjoy! and they did! Go Ate Kay!





The second game is "Dig the coin"

A container has several gold coins and there were all covered with flour.
They just need to dig and get the coins without using their hands!
They were all very competitive!  Go Erika!







The third game is care of Mama Inday!
All they need to do is to stack the paper cups until they reach the starting point!
Go Go Rachel and Gillian!






Now the fourth game is all about me and Sweet!

We were busy discussing (with smiles) on how we will implement this game with the help of my trusty pink luggage (from Malaysia)!

The balloons have prizes inside it.
There were cash prizes and cellphone loads!

All they need to do is to pop the balloon with the use of dart pins (Thanks Papa Gary for buying them!).




We started the game with the kids!

Careful with my luggage kids!
More energy Chobe!!



Let's see if Aaron will get it!!

Nice shot there!!!
KL: Tabi kayo jan kids at baka kayo matamaan!!!



Ofcourse hindi magpapa talo ang mga matatanda!
Buena Mano si Tita Ninang Lynley!
Look at how they were all lined up!



At more players!



At the end some won cash and some won cellphone loads.

The most anticipated part of the party is the exchange gift and gift giving.  The kids, even the adults were very happy with what they received!



It will always be fun hosting our yearly Christmas Party because I see a lot of joy in it!  The next Christmas party will still be held in Maria Paz and I am sure that it will be a hit!

Xoxo
