First Time Sledding

They said it was fun playing in the snow, and it is a great experience to sled.

Well, I tell you that it was not fun for me and my little boy.

This is what happened. I didn't even make it to the bottom of the sleeky snow ..ugh! Plus my boy scared to death! I need to practice and get a better sled.

I couldn't get up! My little screamed from the top of his lungs.

I felt so sorry for him.... I thought he and I are going to have a wonderful experience sledding, but I was wrong.

here he was...still crying. Oh sorry baby G!

Walking towards Daddy and Kathlyn..subbing

my little Kathlyn first time seeing the snow...

it was cold...

she was kinda heavy

I was gonna go down the slope , but I was afraid I cannot come back up.

Frozen lake

here I am was chicken out hehehehe.

Anyway, it was a one day trip to Northern, Arizona and we had fun. Also, Gerald did real well up there. His saturation was in the high 70's and low 80's and he didn't even turn blue at all. He loves playing in the snow.  This was our first trip to higher altitude since Gerald had the fontan surgery and he was great!

Christmas Day

***** A Christmas greeting to ALL ! *****

I would like to greet everyone a Merry 2x Christmas! I was blessed to received tons of Christmas cards from around the world. Thank You , Thank You very much to all my friends, you guys are very thoughtful! It was such a nice feeling knowing that I have tons of friends that thinking about me and my family this holiday season! Merry Christmas!

***** The Day Before Christmas *****

We were kinda tired the day before Christmas since my little daughter had slight fever overnight. I normally cook food for Nouche Buena but ate it before 12 midnight ( in my country we open gifts at 12 midnight and eat dinner at the same time) that is our tradition that I followed. But this year we had a slightly different arrangement. I had no plan of cooking Christmas dinner this because my husband went to work, and he was gonna take me to a restaurant to do our own family tradition. However, this plan changed. So, I prepared some quick Christmas Lunch/Dinner on Christmas eve within 70 minutes including arranging my table to a nice and presentable Christmas theme. I don't know how I did that, but I have pictures to proved it!

Here we are... Merry Christmas!

The next day we went to mom's house as part of my husband's family tradition. Here is the picture of my kids with their cousin Austin.

Kathlyn was checking out her stocking that full of baby goodies.

She also received few dolls this year from Santa and her cousin Austin. Thank you very much!

Gerald got a new play-dough. I was surprised when he touch the dough with his bare hands. That is a big improvement from the past. Before he wouldn't even come near by the play dough.

Gerald got a new flat screen TV... a huge one :)

 

... and a new game. He love it! I got it one sale the day before Christmas :)

I love sales!
