Letter to Immanuel, Reiko and Ariel #241 #22 Steamboats, Gatherings and Thanksgiving

 Dear Imm, Ko and Ariel,

This is probably the happiest time of the year, when we really got to relax and unwind, with the festive season too. Although we can't get to travel, we were still blessed with company of family and friends. First of all, we celebrated Wai gong's birthday!

Of course we need a picture of Ariel with the Xmas tree... last year, you were not able to stand beside the tree yet...

And we were also off to a staycation at Hilton :)

Ariel's waiting hands as she waited for Mummy to open the packet of biscuits.

The girl who is forever eating the non proper food.

We were also still able to squeeze into the bathtub together! we bought a shower "bomb" ball, which unfortunately was a disappointment and cost $5.

Breakkie at Hilton! There was this awesome chocolate pastry which we kept asking for,

And Eli also gave us gingerbread man cookies :)

We met up with Imm's good friend David family, who is also Daddy's friend. With four kids, it was just pure havoc and fun :)

enjoying our xmasy steamboat with our steamboat family, Auntie Joan and family.. hahaa...

What a way to celebrate the end of the year with all our favourite people :) we had a really wonderful year and thank God that despite Covid, we are still able to remain close with our friends whether it was through skype or small group meetings. :)
