CHRISTMAS cheers and Matt's BIG day
countdown
just to continue the remaining countdown to Christmas not posted due to time constraints.
5 thought of making it a tradition to get at least a new pair of socks for each family members every Christmas. as expected, my kids wanted ultraman socks this year.... hopefully something different next year?!!
4 we went out, have dinner and bought each of them a school bag. something practical and they get to choose the bags themselves. Matt needs a bigger bag and Brad is starting nursery next year.
3 this is more for me and my hubby.... cute little books of quotes- just for keep. "love is me and you" for my hubby and "a grateful path" for me. and of course a few superhero comic books to keep the kids entertain.
2 just goofing around with an age old favorite bag of bon bons.
1 my kids bought the Ben10 figurines more than 2 weeks ago... wrapped it themselves and the first presents to go under the tree. just proud they have such control to wait till Christmas eve to open it.
CHRISTMAS day
same old.... same old.... Christmas morning mass and Christmas lunch with my family.
the difference - so damn glad i made it to church alive and feeling good too.... sure never felt that before.
and it's a brand new church... completed just in time for Christmas.
i wasn't very into photography that day. so, i didn't take any photos... not even photos of my kids opening their presents. luckily, my hubby took some.
the brand new church.... jam-packed during Christmas as usual.
i particularly like this Christmas tree at the roof top. i can imagine how beautiful it is when it's litted up at night.
and yes, i wore that dress. and yes, i brought a shawl... just in case i feel 'shy'. and yes, i wanted to cover the scar with foundation .... but i don't have any. during one of those very bad chemo days, i threw most of my make-up away .... probably thinking that i will never ever gonna wear it again. time to replenish now?
a few days before Christmas....
there is a water reservoir nearby our condo and it was turned on one morning. we have the sliding door opened and hence, we can hear the noise coming from the reservoir clearly.
Matt curiously asked me, "mummy, is that santa reindeer coming?" (love this boy- make me wanna believe santa too).
and here it is. Matt's Christmas wish-list to santa... all fulfilled by santa aka mom and dad and uncle sam.
1. not only one but TWO Ben 10 watches - courtesy of uncle SAM (thank you SAM).
2. Ultraman King is so unappealing and so difficult to find because it's not in demand. i asked Matt, " why UK? it's not even nice looking". he said, "UK is the most powerful"-wor and that's why he wanted it.
3. the gameboy for his lil bro -again courtesy of uncle SAM (thank you SAM).
4. a doggie for mummy. why?
sometimes i will sigh and complain a little that there is too much testosterone in the house- superheroes, games etc and my boys will bring the lil pink doggie to me and said, "nah, mummy your girlie stuff". the Christmas doggie is to 'add-on' to my girlie stuff ... how sweet :). actually Matt specifically wanted a purple doggie but my hubby couldn't find one.
5. a teddy bear for daddy.
mummy asked, "why bear? because daddy look like a bear?"
Matt replied, "no, because daddy as cute as a bear" .... so sweet :)
6. Santa book. my hubby is so excited that his boy remembers his santa book that he bought 2 instead of 1 this year.
please don't tell me that i'm spoiling my kids. they bring so much fun into our life and they are great kids!
i love this blocks .... so colorful! i think he likes it too.
and this morning.... okay, this is just his 'pretentious cry' and whenever he do that, i grab my camera instead :P
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTY!!!
Matt turned 5 yesterday. about a month ago, i asked him whether he wants a party and invite some of his little friends to celebrate his birthday or just want to go out with mummy and daddy (yes, i asked my boys what they want all the time). this boy wanted to be with his mummy and daddy on his birthday WITHOUT HESITATION at all. gotta love that. gonna take full advantage of it. one day, he will prefers to hang out with his friends instead of mom and dad. so, yesterday, i have a play date with Matt (daddy can't make it).... doing whatever he fancy.
he wanted McD for breakfast. definitely not my choice but it's Matt call. so, off we go to McD. i have McEgg but only one bite.... and spitted everything out. shoot! it tasted so synthetic- can't call that food now ( i told you my palate has changed). Matt has porridge but he didn't finished it too... actually he just wanted the McD toy. say so-lah boy!
then, he wanted to run wild at Starship Galactica (something like kidzs sport and gym). we have really W-I-L-D, C-R-A-Z-Y, FUN time.... not only him ended with bruises on his leg...i think i'm injured even worst than him - no sweat! real cool wicked FUN time.
of course, we headed to CROCS to get his birthday present. not exactly his choice but i wanted to get one for myself too :). i'm so glad he love it!!! see, he is still wearing it (indoor) this morning.
i asked him what cake he wants and he wanted the honey bee cake we had for Brandon's birthday last year. Matt wish to blow his cake together with his grandparents too but my hubby came home late. so, we couldn't make it. just the 4 of us then!
can you see it? aahhhh...Brad is so so excited until he spitted out his saliva hahaha.
and he drooled a mouthful too (click on the picture to see it larger) .... such a cutie ... always a laugh to have him around.
hAppY HAPPY 5th BiRTHdAY my Boy!!
he is such a great boy. can't get enough of his sweetness. love his brother to bits. a PS II fanatic. a very friendly chap. a homebody. love to read and a comic fan. always insist that family should be together. still love to be cuddled and tucked in at night. love him love him love him!
here is one last shot of his hAppY feet!
and a HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!!!
