5 days to Christmas!

It's just another 5 days to Christmas and I haven't even bought all my Christmas presents yet! The kids must be wondering where are all their presents under the tree heheh ;)

Speaking of the tree, my parents helped the girls put up and decorate the tree when they were here in November and now it's Heidi's favourite point of attraction when taking photos.

Christmas festivities are everywhere, but we should always remember the real reason for the season.

From our family to yours, have a blessed Christmas and happy 2014!

My little sister's engagement

My little sister Adeline recently got engaged, and this was her fiance Robert's first trip to Penang. They had an engagement party in Australia early last month, so my parents thought it would be nice if they could have a small party here as well with our families. As expected, lots of photos were taken :)

And here is our family. Heidi seemed more interested in the food. The theme was "Batik" so most of the gentlemen were decked in their colourful shirts.

Heidi being the youngest one there was made a fuss of by both sides of grandparents. Here is my dad with his youngest daughter and youngest granddaughter :)

And she had fun playing with her little cousin too!

Hannah found some friends to play with too!

We ordered an engagement cake from Jan's, the same person who made Hannah and Heidi's birthday cakes this year. It was not a beautiful cake, but it was certainly delicious!

And we had the mandatory whole family photo before the night ended. Both girls were getting tired and cranky by then, hence Hannah not wanting to look at the camera.

Congratulations to my little sister Adeline and Robert! Looking forward to the wedding ;)

It's December again!

I realised I haven't blogged much this year, due to the busyness that is life :) And believe it or not, it's December again, how time flies.

Over the weekend, we took the girls to Queensbay Mall to have a look at the Christmas deco, and I must say that the mall has certainly stepped up this year in comparison to past years. The Christmas display at the centre court was enough to set the kids off with "oohs" and "aahs", or like Heidi would say, "wow!" And what would be the use of admiring the pretty decorations without some pictures?

Later on, we had a drink and something to eat at Coffee Bean (Citibank platinum cards 20% off - good deal). The girls love their cake and hot chocolate, so they were competing as to who could be the biggest "dinosaur". Hannah is bigger, so definitely her mouth can open wider, but Heidi is not too far behind!

We also took the girls to watch Disney's new animated movie "Frozen" and this was Heidi's first time in a cinema. We were contemplating whether or not to bring her as we were not sure if she would cry or make a fuss when inside.  After all, Hannah was almost 3 years old during her first time at a cinema. Surprisingly, Heidi sat still on her Daddy's lap without making a fuss and ate her bread (which I smuggled in lol) and some of her sister's popcorn. Also I suppose Disney princess movies appeal to girls of all ages (myself included :p) so all 3 of us enjoyed it (not too sure about Hubby though haha).
