大年初一 2014：迎马年～

Happy New Year!!! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!! We woke up bright and early ready to start our brand new horsey year, even little Joelle was excited and decided to wake up earlier than usual. After we changed into our new clothes, we are ready to start our house visiting!We went to my uncle’s place as our first stop. Perhaps Joelle was too tired from waking up early, that she fell asleep halfway through at my uncle’s place. And that was my mum carrying her, beside me, she love my mummy to carry her the most. Perhaps it was due to my mummy looked after her during the 1st 2 months when she was born, thus she has developed a strong bond with my mummy.


My pretty mummy with her grandchildren.

I gotten this horsey dress for Joelle which I feel that it is so appropriate since this year is a Horse year.
The 3 pretty girls.

The next place we visited was to my PIL place. Decided to add in a selfie here.. hahaha…this picture was quite nicely taken, at least I doesn’t look so fat in this picture. 
Followed by visiting to my hub’s grandmother place, and all of us looking rather shag from all the visiting. But, we would be hopping over to my brother’s place for a dinner after this.

So that’s how we spent our 1st day of Lunar New Year. It was mad tired, especially for a young baby, luckily she did not fuss and behave pretty well throughout the day. ^^

Our Lunar New Year Eve Celebration ~ Eat. Eat. Eat…..

Year of the snake is coming to an end soon and in a few more hours we would be welcoming the horsey year. The year of the snake is a memorable one for me as we welcome a mini snake into our family which means there are 2 snake in our family now, a mama snake and a mini snake! ^^

The way we spend our Lunar New Year Eve is eat. eat. eat and more eating!!!! Joelle was in an exceptionally good mood when she woke up in the morning, thus I managed to snap a lot of pictures of her wearing the huge headband (perhaps a bit too huge).

She is able to lift her head quite well now, but she doesn’t really enjoy doing it. She tends to fuss and wants me to carry after her “workout”.
That’s me and my little girl. I guess my dark eye circle is so bad, even the concealer wasn’t able to cover it.
Our first stop for today is to my brother’s place for a steamboat lunch with my mummy and brother’s family. My boys love going there as they can play with my nieces. When we reached there, the sumptuous steamboat was already ready for us! 
The kids were entertaining Joelle while we adults were busy wolfing  down the new year goodies while chit chatting.
And not forgetting to take a shot of the kids. Nice one, I love this shot!… Except that Jayden was looking elsewhere!
And my girl with my brother. Being the youngest in the family, all of us really dote on her, even my nephew who is only 2 years plus. ^^


Many says that Joelle has round fishball-like eyes. When she smile at me and looking at me with those eyes, it simply melt my heart. I can’t stop saying that I really love this girl so so so much!!!!!

What’s new year without these oranges~

I guess I am really obsessed with my girl, can’t stop sharing all the pictures of her in my blog, Dayre or even Instragram. 
My cute nieces made these wrist band for Joelle although she is still too young to wear it now.
Recently, she has started to love exploring her fingers and love stuffing them inside her mouth. Sometimes she tend to push her fingers too deep inside her mouth and cause herself to vomit. *my silly little girl*. ^^

After the first round of steamboat lunch, we proceeded to my Uncle’s house for a buffet brunch. It was nice meeting up with the relatives which I seldom met up over the past one year.
And the last stop for today is non other than to my PIL place for a steamboat dinner.
My nephew Bermes.
After the dinner, we have a lou hei which the kids enjoyed so much. That’s is the only time where they are allowed to play with the food. 
HUAT AH!!!!
After all the digging, throwing of the food!!!! ^^

It was almost close to 10pm when we reached home and little girl was fussing away due to not able to rest well from the hopping from places to places. I guess its time to have a good rest to charge ourselves up for more visiting for tomorrow.

CNY House Visit Continue…

More house visit follows; we went to D’s godmother place, my brother place follow by D’s sister place and this end our house visit for today. Since school starts tomorrow, we end our wonderful moment after the Javier’s mini cake caking celebration at D’s sister house and head for home.

Javier make a new friend today with this sweet little girl, Sierra. The both of them will playing so well togather and enjoying themselves so much!
 

大年初二

Today will be another busy day for us, but I think the boys didn’t mind one bit, in fact they are enjoying the New Year so much!!!! Since we are still early, I decided to have my 2 monkeys pose or me. As you can see clearly from the below pictures, their favorite activity at the moment is plucking the pussy willows, I think judging by the speed that they pluck it out each day, soon the plants will be bare!!!!  

大年初一

It was a busy day for us going to various place for house visiting. But I think the boys were definitely having a fun time hopping from places to places; with toys to play and yummy treats which they couldn’t stop stuffing into their mouth. And its wasn’t a surprise to us that they were quite reluctant to go home at the end of the day.

Javier with my brother. He is so scared of him, thus he doesn’t dare reject him when he hug him to take this picture.
