How has it been?
Surreal. Really.
Ok, its been nothing short of "WOW" to have a baby to bring along and who's always in the center of attention wherever we go. We love Sammy to bits and he adds such a special dimension to Christmas, cos we know that God has given him to us a gift. In the same way God gave Jesus to us as His gift for mankind. Immanuel - God is with us, may this truth sink deeper into my heart.
But it has also been soooo much work when I'm at the back and call of a little one. We usually play card games over Christmas and this year, the card games only worked when baby was asleep. Thank God Sammy sleeps pretty well anywhere so he slept on his Aunt Sabrina's bed while we played our games.
Dinner time was also tricky because hubby and I had to take turns to care for Sammy when he got cranky. But overall, he was a very good sport and we could enjoy our Christmas at our in-laws until the wee hours of the morning.
We also had our special guest, Bel, who came back for her 3rd Christmas us. :) This time she brought along her fellow Singaporean boyfriend, who shared this festive season with us for the first time.
Sammy lapped in all the attention and one can really tell how much of an extrovert he already is! Oh yeah he received sooo many presents too!
Our present for him was the Santa Claus costume which I got at the spur of the moment because it was simply soooo cute!
