Christmas 2008

I have only just realised that I didn't blog about the last Christmas, so it's coming at the same time as the update for CNY.

This year's celebration was held at Gabe's sum sok gong's home, where we found an overwhelming amount of food, noisy company with lots of laughs and a mountain of presents under the Christmas tree. It'll suffice to say the adults were all stuffed with food and the kids with fun and presents.

Gabe and auntie Nikki at the sidelines of the water fight out on the balcony.

Fuel up before the real fun begins. I love the mini santarina hat!

As always, getting all four kids together for a picture tops the list of challenges.

And it's finally time to distribute the presents. Gabe's patience finally paid off when he was called to collect his first gift. See the glee on his face!

Waiting for his turn again. Last year, the wide-eyed babe sat through the distribution with nary an idea of what went on. This year, with the ability to participate, he was thoroughly enjoying the process.

Entertaining everyone with displays of purposeful ha-ha-s.

The loot. Gabe very obediently helped mummy to stack all the presents up until it was time to open them.

Carefully tearing up the wrapper...

Another conscientious effort...

And another...

And another...

Present of the year: the remote control Taxi! Incidentally, waigong bought him the yellow one and uncle ET got him the blue one ie HE HAS TWO of them!

Ending off the day with the bubble gun, which each kid got in a different color.
