Joyeux NOEL

Christmas recital

Santa, I am waiting!

Yawn~~~~

So tired, but still needs to set the table for Santa and the renideers..... will they come?

Christmas cookies, yum

Look at that beautiful smile, Noel is proud to present the snowflake cookie that she decorated herself.  The winter has arrived quick and early this year.   Making Christmas cookie with my girl has been something  I am looking forward to, after all, what is sweeter than staying in the cozy home and create these yummy treats in a cold winter night!

Noel is the "art director" this year and takes on most of the decorating job herself.  Not bad :)

Merry Christmas!  I hope your holiday is as sweet as our ginerbread cookies!

Christmas recital 2010

Friends, so sorry for the out-of-focus video, I got this wonderful new camera that takes terrific pictures, but I am still having hard time dealing with its video function.  Thankfully, the sound of the music makes up for it!  My sweet girl's Christmas recital!

Space Needle

YES we are here, in Seattle!

The rain has finally stopped, wait, doesn't it rain a lot here?  So let's enjoy the rare sunny moments.  Noel and mama decided to visit Space Needle on Christmas Day, and it turned out to be a great decision.  Sun was out, line was short, and we had a great time!

 

 

poor Noel, all she can see was the sky, her mommy was too weak and too short to lift her up.  By the way, see her cute new down jacket?  Santa was able to hunt it down at Crewcuts , I wish I have one to keep me toasty warm too.

 

Merry Christmas from us....way up in the Space Needle!

set the table II - Christmas Eve 2008

After the Mass, after a bath, Noel put on her new Christmas PJ and ran to the kitchen : " mama, hurry, time to set up Santa and Reindeers' food!"

But seriously, things I do for my daughter....eh, I am not complaining about the whole deal, but the fact that after "Santa" and "reindeers" finish the snacks, I will have to leave the empty glass and plate out - me, leaving dirty dishes overnight - unheard of!

The only 3- year-old at the Mid-night Mass, and a very energetic one too!

Christmas Recital 2008

Noel performs her pizzicato on violin, look, she is reading her music as she plays - something that surprised me and her teacher!
