Christmas

Our Christmas last year was filled with crazy boxes packing (although we did squeeze in a trip to watch the Boston Ballet's Nutcracker). This year, we started with making some christmas cards for family and friends.

Mummy was not paying $4.50 for each gingerbread man and so we made our own!

Poor Lydia stayed in bed again :)

No Christmas complete without a photo with Santa.

Didn't expect this Santa :(

Christmas Eve dinner all set at our place :)

Chocolate cheesecake chilling in the fridge.

Place cards to give the kids something to do :)

Presents!!!

Star of the night - overly salty brined and spiced turkey.

Brussel sprouts and carrots with bacon.

Stuffed mushrooms.

Twice baked potatoes.

Yummilicious stuffing :)

Plastic wine glasses to make apple juice taste so much better :)

Merry Christmas!!!

Build a Bear Workshop

Sonya and Clara got gift vouchers from Build-A-Bear Workshop from Santa this year :)

There were some tough decisions to make with so many bears and even more outfits and accessories to choose from!

Finally decided on the bears and it was time to get their bears stuffed.

But not before a whole ritual of love and wishes.

Time to clean and give the bears a good brush.

Now, for the outfits.

Ta da! One bear all ready to walk down the aisle.

The other bear all ready to be the cutest on the block.

Bears need birth certificates too!

Before heading home, these two took the bear pledge to take very good care of their bears :)

We are never big fans of crowds and headed to Kallang for dinner.

One was interested in the food while other playing pool :)

This little one played with her new teether and caught some Zzzz.

Couldn't resist the lit up bridge :)

Since it was Christmas, we thought of driving down Orchard Road to enjoy the lights.

Unfortunately it was closed. Just as well because we have three tired little ones all ready to sleep :)
