CNY cookies

Pardon my messy postings... Am trying to post my missing entries based on the photos in my iPhone... Haha...

As I am on maternity leave during this CNY and with a maid, I had been looking for recipes to make some CNY cookies this year!! And managed to squeezed out some time to bake while baby is napping away!!

It was really fun and first time we have lots of cookies to eat!! My kids favorite is the butter cookies and fried arrowroots!! Adwin's another favorite is the pineapple tarts!! And I found a real easy recipe for peanut cookies too!! Easy and tasty!! Hope I can do more next year!! LOL...

Ashley's graduating concert

This is the first time I had to miss my kids performance! And this performance is a much anticipated one that I had been waiting for, but baby Alvan decided to make his presence on the same day of the performance!!! Argh... The reason why am so excited to watch the performance, as it's Ashley's graduating concert, also the last concert before she goes into another milestone in her growing stage!

Anyway, I can't do much if baby decides to be born on this day!

Alvan's first visit to the beach

It's been a long long time since we bring the kids to the beach! And since the weather is good and we are finally free on a Sunday, WL decides to bring the family to East Coast!! And of cos, this would be the first visit for Alvan!

It feels really good to be relaxing and enjoy the sea breeze, been a long while since we enjoy a relaxing Sunday!!

Had wanted to give a try on the big bicycle, dunno what it's known as!! We can all ride in it!! But the weather was turning bad, so have to leave before we get caught in the rain!! Hope to find another Sunday to ride on it!!

Alvan at 2 months old...

Here's some pictures of Alvan at 2 months old... He's beginning to smile and he likes to chat with familiar faces. Its such a joy to my baby grow... Cos I think I really missed out the growing years of my 2 other precious! Am so eager to see Alvan's other milestones!!

CNY 2012 -- Year of the Dragon

This year's Lunar New Year is pretty early, 22 Jan is the first day of CNY... Year of the Dragon!!

As usual, we had our first reunion lunch with my family a day before the Eve of CNY...  Always looking forward to reunion meals, especially the 'lo-hei'!!  And as the kids grow up, our meal time are getting noisier, I guess next year will be noisier as Alvan would be 1 year old + next CNY and he would be chasing his siblings and cousins around too!!

I managed to get this Father & sons top/romper for WL and the 2 boys, but Adwin refused to wear!! So... here's the pic of Father & son wearing the same design top! Nice???...  :p

Adwin's top was chosen by himself when we brought the family to Chinatown for shopping, he loves this Pink top!! Insisted wearing even when we tried hard to persuade him to wear the same top as WL and Alvan!! But he does looks nice in it!! haha... Love his smile here!! :)

Ashley looks a big girl here... As she enters Primary 1 this year, it's a challenging year for Ashley, as well as us, the parent... always making sure she's ready for school and coaching her to do her homework, making sure she understands the topic the teacher had taught her, driving them to enrichment classes, etc...

Photo of mummy?? Ehm... maybe the next time... as I am still trying to lose the weight I gain during pregnancy!!  Finding it tougher to lose the weight this time... guess age is an important factor!! Haha... Happy Lunar New Year!!!! Cheers!! :)
