Christmas Celebrations

I have been really tired lazy to post the last few days.. Now I am going to do "backlog" again. :P

LAST TUESDAY 11 Dec 07 @ GYM CLASS


By looking at the "kum" , it looks like our Chinese New Year Celebration ya?



They had a very very small Christmas celebration during the tea break. The kids were all given a present. Shannon was so excited and opened up the present immediately. :P

Last Wednesday 12 Dec 07 @ Creche



This was done by Shannon in the creche. The kids stuffed favoured bonbon (sweets) in to Dates, prunes, apricot and coated with colourful sugar pearls.

Last Sunday 16 Dec @ Cazaux Air Base








We went to the Cazaux Air base on Sunday. It was a yearly thingy. All the kids of the working personnel in the Airbase were invited to meet Papa Noel (Santa Claus) and collect a present. We heard that the Santa Claus will arrived in the helicopter (as of few years ago) but in the end, he arrived in a FIRE ENGINE. When he stepped down, he started to distribute sweets to the kids surrounding him.



After collecting the sweets, we took some photos with some of the cartoon characters and she went to play with some of her friends. She was having fun chasing the jiejies around.



We followed the crowds and went into the auditorium to watch some performance for a while. After 15 minutes, we went to another place to collect her Christmas present and left for another Christmas Functions.

Christmas Celebration with Clapotis on 16 Dec 07




This Christmas Function was organised by Clapotis. It was a potluck even and we contributed the K0nnyaku Jelly we made on Saturday night. Then we started to play the game prepared by them.

Fishing Game


Throwing Game



Face Painting


Shannon refused to participate in the face painting. She cried and said that she wanted clean face *roll eyes*


After each game, the kids will be given some sweets or chocolates.


Happily jumping around.


As usual, she opened up her present after the caretaker passed to her.

PHOTO TAKING SESSIONS WITH HER FRIENDS






We left the function at about 5pm as we went for a shopping spree at Carrefour. :P

We were told the same thing as well last year (Santa arriving in a helicopter). This year's event looked more fun than last year's though!

Too bad Megan is back in SG now, else I am sure she will have fun as well :)

Merry X'mas to all at home! Bon Fete!

Shannon's Mummy said...

@ling - Yeah!

@missy m - Actually, depend on the parent. Some parents just go there to collect present only, thus it make the event boring...

Merry Christmas to you in SIN!! :)
