Ho-Ho-Ho Holiday Parties Update (Dec 26 - 28)

It's the last week of the year!  In the past, Fion and I would certainly be joining the shopping frenzy looking for the best boxing week deals off the streets.  But the babies kept us grounded (in a good way), so we decided to throw a party with our friends and family instead. Below are some of the pictures we took on the last three nights.

December 26, 2014 - The Fun Group Party

The Tree of Love continues to glow and grow as more generous gift arrives...  We are fortunate to have many friends and families who always keep us in their mind!  Thanks everyone!

To conclude this post:  The past few days had been one of the most eventful time in my life.  There were many memorable and first-timer moments.  I wanted to take this opportunity to thank those who pulled time off from their busy lives in order to join us for the holiday parties and spent time with our boys, despite my last-minute invitations.  I also wanted to thank those who brought generous gifts to us (and our boys).  Many of these gifts were very thoughtful and practical stuffs that would prepare us for the upcoming challenges ahead.  There were also many food sponsors and volunteers that helped replenishing our freezer and fridge.  I must say that we hadn't been eaten so well and full since we had the boys home.  THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!  THANK YOU!!!
