Its just 1 more week before school starts all over again... I am having that mixed feeling, excited yet fearful that there are still so much things to be done!!
Went back to school today & all my staff are also back to set up the classroom, wash the toys & everything... We need to get our engine started!!
Hun Family Christmas Dinner
My family had our Christmas Dinner on the eve @ my place.
That evening being a special evening, I went & bought flowers to do up my place a little and they were so pretty & colourful!! We had a big Christmas tree with so so so many gifts under the tree. I also set up a mini Nativity scene to remind us the reason for the season is really about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was and still is the greatest gift to me and my family.
We were up & abt busy preparing. I really need to blog abt the trip I made to QB food at Chin Bee. I was there fairly early like 9.30am.. boy the place was CROWDED. There were lots of Japanese, Americans & even Singaporeans.... everyone (including me) was pushing their basket carts loaded with sausages, chilled beef, cheese, frozen fruits, lamb chops. I ordered 23 ribeye beef steaks!! At checkout... my purchase was a grand total of $495!!
We had a western menu....
1. Walnut shallot bread with olive oil, pepper salt & vinger
2. Cold cut ham with cheese dip
3. Spicy squid salad
4. Smoked duck salad
5. Honey Mustard salad
6. Assorted beans with corn dip
7. Rosemary Roast Chicken
8. Beef steak
9. Lamb chop
10. Shepard's pie
11. Grilled sausages
12. Fruit salad
13. Red, white, fruit wines
Here a pic to showcase our FEAST
Besides the food, the kids & even the man had a fun time playing WII. The kids were really mild but gosh when it was the man's turn.... they went all out!! Standing up, swinging that arm etc.... It was funny to watch them play....
The sisters as usual were enjoying each other's company, chit chatting and catching up on each other lives!!
Blessed Christmas everyone and May His grace and love abounds in us. Have a wonderful 2010...

Lazy Way of Posting
Haha Angie mentioned that I have been getting lazy with my posts & its always those "Happenings in the week!!" style... so i am keeping it this way for a while...
Ringbearer Experience
I mgt to dig out yet another set of suit for Ezra & it fits him to the T... so here's a peek at how he looks on James & Connie's Wedding. He was a little taken aback when he saw the crowd & so not too smiley... but he did a wonderful job of stepping forward when Pastor Richard called for the rings & the crowd laughed when they saw a little handsome boy walking out!! After his 'job' we gave him his loli as a reward (more to shut him out though the ceremony)

Ezra the Ring Bearer
We were very excited cos Ezra was asked to be the ring bearer for James & Connie church wedding on 12 Dec. I dug through all the bags of clothes passed down by Andre & Neville.. true enough I found some suits that we can use. I have not decided which to use.... They had the wedding rehearsal last evening & here are some sneak previews.... 
Here's the other suit I am considering.... 
Stylo Ezra on Berry kor kor's bike!!

Gingerbread Man
I was toying with the idea of baking gingerbread man for friends as Christmas gifts. So I better do some trial now. Got a recipe from a church friend... its really not so difficult to do but the rolling out & cutting the shape & transferring it to the baking tray takes some skills.
After baking, it must be cooled before I decorate the man with icing. It requires a little creativity.
The children pestered for some and they got their wish granted!!
