Christmas 2007

Three beauties in the house playing Santa-Rina

This post has been rather late as our family had been very busy - Daddy & Mommy with work, the whole family with preparations for Christmas, the Sabah trip in January 2008 and attending the different parties.

2007 had been special, as we had the chance to attend a kids' party which was organized by Chloe and Cayden's mommy (http://www.chloeandcayden.blogspot.com/) at Nuono, apart from the annual family one at Grand-Uncle Steve and Grand-Aunt Stella at Thomson 800.

The kids' party was sort of a potluck event, and Mommy baked muffins for the party. There was beehoon, spaghetti, Christmas logcakes, sausages and the very cute mini gingerbread mans brought by the different families. We had the party at the poolside and the sun was very, very strong. Kieona and Kierra had a lot of fun playing with their friends, although they didn't eat a lot at the lunch as it was too warm in the outdoors. Then came Santa Claus - played by Chloe's Daddy, Uncle Ten and the kids all enjoyed receiving presents from the gifts exchange, as well as the candies and party favours prepared by Chloe's Mommy. Although the weather was so hot, we all had fun that afternoon.

On Christmas Day, Kieona woke up early and asked if she could open the Christmas presents. We did after washing up, and spent the next hour opening all the presents under the Christmas tree. There was pink boots, doctor's playset and Playdoh from Daddy and Mommy, pink princess schoolbags from Eugene's parents, Dominos from Grandpa and Grandma, pony dollhouse with lights from Gu Gu.

We all headed to Grand-Uncle Steve and Grand-Aunt Stella's house for the annual Christmas get-together close to noon, and were the first ones to reach there. We brought gifts for all the children and Kieona and Kierra got many presents as well there. Needless to say, they were both over-the-top and Mommy was surprised that Kieona remembers which package is for her and which belongs to Kierra. We all were famished by the time we started lunch and Kieona actually nearly fell asleep and off the chair during lunch! Amazing!

Christmas has been a time for receiving for the girls, and we could see the smiles on their faces as they went to bed that night.
