Christmas 2010

We had a treat at Gloria and Tom’s new home on Christmas Eve.  You’ll see Gloria and Tom need a bigger countertop for the so many scrumptious dishes they prepared for us; it was good food and good company.  Gloria’s potato casserole was the best potato I ever had.

Ah-Ma was treasuring this cozy moment with Ben and not watching the cartoon!

Ah-Gong got a treat from Gabby and Papa got a trick; Gabby was pretending giving Papa a gift!

Ben and Ah-Ma are snuggling, having a light moment!
  
Princess Gabby is getting another gift from Nana!

 Merry Christmas!

We played a counting game with Ben who was rewarded with $1 for each number he counted in sequence without making a mistake, i.e. he would get $20 if he counted up to 20, $30 if up to 30, and so on.  He stopped after counting to 50; either he was not too greedy or he didn’t want Ah-Ma and Ah-Gong to go broke.


Gabby is sporting her new earrings.  Also pay particular attention to see what magazine she is reading.

Katy was meeting with a new friend—an almost too friendly Loki.  I initially thought he was Locky and wonder whether he was named after John Locke—the English philosopher and is generally considered the father of liberalism.  But, Jo told me he was named after a god in Norse mythology; may not be more noble, but more mystical than I thought.

The cartoon is as captivating to mom as it is to Ben and Gabby.
黃壬辰 那位大小孩的專注,不輸 Ben Gabby. (The Big Girl is no less absorbing than Ben and Gabby are.)

This is why I tried not to put “The Big Child” (大小孩) in the picture lest she may steal the show of Ben and Gabby.  But, Jo strategically placed herself in between.

Gong-Fu demonstration! This is why I learn not to mess up with these gals!

Gabby was reading on her Facebook page on her laptop; I think she was sending “be my friend” requests to Ah-Ma and Ah-Gong.

For those who are Taiwanese challenged, Ah-Ma is grandma and Ah-Gong is grandpa (and that happens to be me, NOT papa).  After reading this, Tom will be busy sending a “be my friend” request to Gabby.

What’s on TV that freezed Gabriella’s fingers interrupting her art work?

The three Rockettes were rehearsing for the Christmas Spectacular at the Radio City Music Hall.
