Christmas Shopping

We go for christmas shopping after Sunday school...as mommy doesn't need to sing for choir today !! Yeah, Mama needs a break.

So we spent some good hours shopping and eating at Markville Mall. It's very crowded of course but the line up wasn't too crazy. Mommy gets some new outfit for Bernice...and we gotta try it on at home instead..it's pretty packed at the store! Papa takes some NICE photos of us at GAP with the cozy white hat...but we didn't buy them haa..it's for photo taken ONLY! Cheers!

Gingerbread house

We are making some gingerbread house with some friends today. This time we get the little small houses instead of one big one. We also have gingerbread men too. You kids have eaten them all before decorating the gingerbread men. ohohoh!~ Mommy can't resist too, they are absolutely yummy!! Nice job kids!!!!

Cashier

Bernice has a new cashier at last!! Bernice loves to swipe the credit card between the couch and pretends to make a payment. So papa & mommy decide to get you a cashier and let you have some fun. And we also open up the superstore megablocks that Godmama gave you at Christmas!! You would line up the products and people and just busy scanning and counting cash for the whole night!!!! Good job!

Annabella's Visit

Bell Bell jiejie managed to spend few days with Bernice during Christmas holiday. We went shopping and dinner and spent some quality time @ home. Every time when Bell Bell jiejie gone back home, Bernice would cry so hard because of missing her!!! We hope Bell Bell jiejie can come over often and spend more time with Bernice and mommy!!

Cleaning Lady

Thank you 叔叔 & 嬸嬸 christmas gift to Bernice. As per your thoughts, it will help to train Bernice to be a 賢良淑徳 girl. haa!! I think Bernice did a good job as 1st time using the "easy-rolling, 2-wheeled cart" clearning set that's includes mop, broom, dustpan, scrub brush, buckets, cleaning basin, and spray bottle. Again, thanks for your thoughtfulness. It will help mommy to clean up daddy's junk!!!

Friend Gathering

As Uncle John came from HK, we all gather at Kylie's home and have some fun! Having seen each other for so long and glad that everyone is doing great! It's a windy and snowy night at Aurora, our Audi trunk got frozen and cannot close!!!
Another highlight of the day: Bella joins our party and Bernice is very happy, nonstop calling "Bell Bell jiejie" and requests to sit with Bell Bell jiejie everywhere!!!!

Miss You Most At Christmas time

I have heard this song from radio for the first time last night, very nice melody sung by Mariah Carey. I really like it but it sounds so sad with the lyrics.
I have been thinking and thinking what I miss most at Christmas time….I think definitely my auntie Fanny. She passed away on April 4th 2008. Thank God I was in HK to spent my mat leave for 3 months and I was able to spend some time with her and baby Bernice had a chance to meet her in person. Auntie Fanny was a very loving person even thou she was a tough lady. She has many impacts in my life in different ways. I remember when we were little kids, she loved to get us presents which were wrapped beautifully. When I was a teenager and went back HK for summer vacations, she would referred me to her office to work, so I did spent some time working with her in different places. Her enthusiasm towards her career has amazed me. I believe you are now sitting next to Jesus in heaven, singing praises with the angels and looking down on us. One day we will be united in heaven, sharing the glory and singing Christmas songs together.

P.S these photos were taken at Fanny E's last visit to Toronto in 2004 Christmas.

Miss you most at Christmas Time by Mariah Carey

The fire is burning

The room's all aglow

Outside the December wind blows

Away in the distance the carolers sing in the snow

Everybody's laughing

The world is celebrating

And everyone's so happy

Except for me tonight

Because I miss you

Most at Christmas time

And I can't get you

Get you off my mind

Every other season comes along

And I'm all right

But then I miss you, most at Christmas time

I gaze out the window
This cold winter's night

At all of the twinkling lights

alone in the darkness

Remembering when you were mine

Everybody's smiling

The whole world is rejoicing

And everyone's embracing

Except for you and I

Baby I miss you

Most at Christmas time

And I can't get you

Get you off my mind

Every other season comes along

And I'm all right

But then I miss you, most at Christmas time

In the springtime those memories start to fade

With the April rain

Through the summer days

Till autumn's leaves are gone

I get by without you

Till the snow begins to fall

And then I miss you

Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you

Get you off my mind

Every other season comes along

And I'm all right...

But then I miss you, most at Christmas time
