Snow snow snow!

I’m so glad there’s actually snow this year.  Yeah yeah yeah, I need to shovel and traffic will be terrible.  But … it’s better than last year, when there’s nearly no snow.  And snow means fun, for both the kids and myself!! =)

A Warm Christmas

Christmas is the time for celebration.  For me, it’s a celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ.  But of course, it’s time for holidays for many others.  For the kids, well … it’s a little bit of both.  On top of that, it’s also time for family reunion!  But first thing first, unwrapping time!!

Awww … look at those chubby hands!  Can I just have one bite? =P

Preparing for Christmas

Another year is soon coming to past.  Same time last year, I remember it was only Aidan helping in decorating the Christmas tree.  Welcome our new tree decorator this year! =)

Gingerbread Fun

This is the second year in a roll we registered Aidan to a gingerbread house class.  I still remember the first time he did that, the house was … uhem … cute.  Now a year later, there IS some difference in terms of his creativity and skills (thank God!). =P

IMG_20121208142127

Of course, we all need to offer a little help.

IMG_20121208142730IMG_20121208144535

Hmm … irresistible!

IMG_20121208145329

Mom and I wanted so bad to have both Aidan and Reily to make the gingerbread house together.  But apparently, a nap in the afternoon (rather than a proper sleep at night) is so much more tempting!

So while we are having fun decorating the house, enjoy our hot chocolate, Reily is having his sweet dreams.

IMG_20121208142700IMG_20121208145734

Oh, he wakes up at the perfect time, right when we’re ready to leave. =P

IMG_20121208150547

Take a look at the professionally done gingerbread house!  And because Aidan needs to share about his memorable moments to his class the next day, I need to shoot something nice for him to present.  (Well actually, not necessarily needs to be nice, but you know me about photography, I can't resist either!) =P
