Finally! Christmas is here!

What a wait… I must say that the kids’ patience is admirable.  The Xmas tree had been up since beginning November.  We added presents under the tree gradually, and explained to the kids that they can only be opened on Xmas day, and they nicely awaited the day to arrive.  They did not fuss or whine or insist to open up the presents at all.  Good job guys!

Oma and Ogu came 10-ish, after church.  We arranged all the presents in front of the xmas tree and took some nice pictures of the 3 kids together.  After that, it was a happy, messy and noisy presents opening time.  Oma and Ogu really lavished on the kids for xmas.  We usually give the kids 1 gift each, but they will give the kids several gifts each, sometimes even more than 10 per kid!

Then we had a 2nd session in the evening, with the ‘Pang’ side of the family.  What a crowd! Ah Ma, Yee Yee, Yee Yee’s boyfriend, Ah Gu and Ah Gu’s girlfriend, plus us… no place to sit.  The kids actually “pre-ordered” their presents from Ah Gu, from the Toys R Us catalogue.  Donald asked for the Ben-10 watch, which can project images on the wall.  Toria pointed to the trampoline, which I also found it a good buy.  The ELC ones cost a bomb and is only for up to age 3, whereas this one is cheaper and is from age 3-8.  Toria loved it!  She was jumping on it like nobody’s business.  Yee Yee bought soft toys for them, and the dog she got for Toria looked so real! Just like a real golden retriever.
