Christmas and the day after

Christmas was celebrated at my grandparents' place, together with the rest of the clan. As usual, there was a lot of delicious food for all to eat throughout the night. And as tradition, we sang carols, shared in thanksgiving and exchanged presents at the end of the long night. The children had to wait till 12 midnight until they were given their presents but it was a good wait because each child was piled with presents! Sera, who was actually very grouchy and sleepy, started to get all excited when the presents just kept coming. Johan, together with Sera, had good fun opening up all her presents.

The presents started ...

... and they didn't stop coming



And the next day ... was Johan's birthday. The celebration just didn't stop. No wonder we were so tired! Ha ha!

We had lunch with the Soh family - Evan, Simon and little Chloe. It was so nice to see all of them after so long, and especially to see how Chloe has grown. It was lovely to see Chloe and Sera discover, explore and finally interact with each other.

Of course, presents for the girls before lunch

We ended lunch with a yummy chocolate cake topped with a birthday candle for the big birthday boy
