Family Gathering

Aunt Mandy, Uncle Lawrence and cousin Desmond came from Toronto to celebrate Christmas and New Year with us this year. Eunice and Isaac were so excited about Desmond's arrival. They arrived Vancouver on Dec 21 night (the night that Eunice was not feeling well). When Eunice woke up the next morning, she asked whether Desmond was in Vancouver or not. I told her that Desmond was here but they were going to the snow mountain. She begged Desmond and Aunt Mandy to come to our house first so that she could see Desmond. When they arrived our house, Eunice changed her crying face to a happy face. I thought she was so happy that she forgot all her stomach pain.

After a few days, she was fine and went to play with her cousins and joined all the family dinner gathering.

Christmas Party at Preschool

Eunice had a Christmas Celebration at her Preschool on Dec 20. So how she got a stomach flu that day. She was vomiting whenever after eating and was complaining her stomach plan. When I told her that not to go for the Christmas Party. She refused. She was looking forward the Christmas party for the whole week. Anyway, we end up going to the school. She was excited in the first part of the program (a skit). The skit was about the born of Jesus. She was a pinky pig. I didn't take the photo of her because we were recording video.

Then we were having a light dinner. Actually she did not want to eat but we knew that she was hungry. We tried to give her something to eat but after a while she vomit all out. We asked her to go home but she refused again. It was because the third part of the program was Christmas Carol. This was how she looked like during the Christmas Carol. Not too bad... At least she would do some action with the other kids.

Almost the end of the program, she came to me and said that her stomach was painful again. So we just went home just about 5 minutes earlier than other guests.

PS. This was not a very good Christmas party for her on that night. When she was getting better a few days later, she kept on singing the Christmas songs.

Winnie & Katherine

This was a very special day. I brought Eunice and Isaac to Metrotown to meet Winnie & Katherine. We went to T & T at Metrotown to buy some food for the hot pot dinner at Kit's place in the morning. Then we had lunch at the food court. I bought cucumber sushi and noodles for Eunice and Isaac. Eunice requested to have curried fried from Arby's. I went to buy some for her. They were so happy. After lunch, I drove them back to our house and played for a while. Eunice and Isaac took a short nap. When they woke up and saw Winnie and Katherine were still in our house, they were so happy and wanted to play with them. They played "London bridge is falling down". Run and Run. What a happy day!

Art Attack

Recently Eunice likes spelling. She liked colouring since she was 2. Then she asked us to draw pictures for her and she drew different kinds of pictures. Now she likes to spell. She spells our family's names including all the relatives and her favourite cantoon characters (Mickey, Minnie, Donald etc...). She does not spell out loud to me but to write down on her notebook. Let's take a look on her notebook and her pictures.

Christmas Tree

This year we set up the Christmas tree for Christmas. We haven't done it for 4 years. When we brought the tree out, Isaac and Eunice were so excited. They sat down quietly looking at us. They helped us to put the decoration on the tree. At last we turned all the light off and switched on the Christmas tree lighting. They were wow. "Amazing! So Beautiful!" We put the gate around the tree just in case they pull the tree down.
