Ehe...I was thinking of making gingerbread cookies for all my Active English students this year but our oven conveniently broke...2 days ago. Anyone want to donate one to us!? :D

I LOVE Christmas! The decorations, lights, food, the chummy warm feeling and atmosphere that comes with it etc.... I love everything about it, besides the fact that it's cold...but even that I like sometimes...cuddling becomes very nice and convenient. ;)
To up the chummy, lovey dovey-ness in our big home I...

1. Made a Christmas tree wish list with the kids out of collected tree branches from the park.
2. Made a fireplace outta origami
3. Sewed Christmas stockings for all he ids in the house.

5. Decorated big Christmas trees on 2 floors of our house.
6. Made a Christmas wreath with the kids outta collected items from our neighborhood. Heh

And I'm sure it won't end there....

Yesterday at 8:04 my best friend wrote me telling me his very PG wife water bag broke. 3 hours later a healthy, chubby, adorable baby girl was born. Not bad for a first kid, in fact that is amazingly great! Masa's a DAD! Congats! To the both of you!...you beat me to it :p

This is one of my most favorite pics from the summer of 2008, I love their faces!

Today I was with Nona's. Mercy and I take turns...maybe Mercy is with her more. But today it was my turn....and it was a very cold day. We went to the convenient store to photo copy for Meg, then made our way to the park for some exercise before the rain.

We got there and had lot's of fun. We played on the swings, seesaw, slide and walked around the whole park.

All the leaves on the huge tree had finally started to fall and lightly covered the ground in a yellow blanket. Nona's had tons of fun picking up the leaves and throwing them, she was so cute.
When we decided that we were tired of playing and that it was time to go home, we loaded up and started walking. One fourth of the way home it started to pour and so we ran till there was shelter. I was sweating by then since she decided that she would rather me carry her and push the buggy, all the while running for cover. We called Aich and she agreed to come with umbrellas to pick us up...we listened to my phone's ring tones while we waited and she sang along. We walked home quite happy to be under an umbrella and dry.

I just wanted to post a quick happy brithday for Lily and Andy!!

I know you guys will have a great year! happy 17th birthday!!
