20121225 Christmas

Blink of an eye, and Christmas was here again.

This year, mommy is so busy that she did not bring Kathleen to the yearly Orchard Road Christmas lights viewing.

Kathleen had also asked for a Christmas tree, but mommy refuse to budge as she did not want to maintain another Christmas tree after throwing away the last one that was shedding so much leave it is a prime candidate for 'hair' transplant.

And as usual, mommy took shortcuts for the Christmas present exchanges (asked the kids what they want instead of racking her limited brain cells).

As mommy had told Kathleen that it will be a busy day, the girl actually woke up extra early that morning so that she could play with her own toys.

And mommy brought out the Christmas presents when she went into one of the bedrooms..


2!
Kathleen unwrapped the first present from Auntie Long-legs.  It was a Mother Garden picnic set! :) She liked it so much she totally forgot about the 2nd present that was from mommy and daddy (kick scooter that she had asked for). Hahahha...

The girl even wanted to bring the Mother Garden set to 四姨姨's place.


Thank you Auntie long-legs!
After that, we went to 四姨姨's place for lunch and a game of Xbox Kinect.  The kids and adults all have a great time, but one thing about Kinect is that it cannot really detect short people (aka children) well enough.

K trying to bowl....

its a STRIKE!
After that, everyone went to po po's place for dinner and the Christmas presents.

Posing before ripping off the wrappers

Let the ripping begins!


As usual, mommy will try to take pictures of the individual kids and their Christmas presents.  When she was asking Nicole to pose, her sister Julia who was seated next to her throw some wrappers into the air to try to block the photo shoot.  Her aiming was so good that it was just in front of Nicole's face when the shutter was pressed!  So mommy got that hilarious shot below.

Got to take another picture.

toys, books and accessories.  The Sylvanian toys are at her request as her daddy Uncle Levin had bought her  a Sylvanian house for her birthday
Everyone then got involved in setting up the Sylvanian ice cream store which has many parts and lots of stickers (= lots of fun, for kids their age)


K enjoying her kick scooter 2 days later



So that brings the end of another merry christmas! :)
