Baptisms, Birthdays and more...

Besides going to the beach, there was plenty else happening over the holidays:

First there was Baby Adam and Baby Dominic's baptism done by Fr. Richard at the beautiful St. Peter's College Chapel. Hubby was appointed Baby Dominic's Godfather! :)









After the baptism, we headed to the club to celebrate Amelie, Amanda and Ethan's birthdays!

The birthday trio

No one told poor Amelie that she had to share her cake, so she got angry and took a swipe at Jie Jie when she also cut the cake! :)


Anyway, it wasn't all fun and games, there was also a Tae Kwon Do upgrading and a visit to the dentist!

Annie has since been upgraded to green belt! Well done dear!


This was a first for Claire and Eva. (Solomon escaped!) Annie has been to the dentist before and this time she just did some scaling and polishing. I also had my teeth cleaned and Claire had a cavity filled. Eva's teeth were fine and as I said, Solomon was out the door before it was his turn!! :)


There was one night when Bishop Dominic Su came to dad's house to say mass for mum. All the neighbourhood rosary group folks came over and after mass we had a simple fellowship. (ie: food!)


It also happened to be Uncle Kent's birthday so we celebrated with a cake. FYI the cake was a glorious white chocolate macadamia nut cake from Secret Recipe and NOT made by me! Apparently Dad thought otherwise and told people that if they wanted, they could order it from me!!

*ack*

 Thank goodness I haven't had any orders for white chocolate macadamia nut cake yet!! :)


Oh yes! there was also a cake baking session. We left the kids with a recipe and let them whip up their own cake!



Aspiring Junior Masterchefs??

Their Devil's food cake was not bad at all! It had  a great soft texture. I was impressed. It's amazing what kids can do if you let them try!

Also, we managed to squeeze in a movie! Kung Fu Panda II at MBO cinema. It was the first time Solomon's been to a cinema and till now, he keeps asking to go again!




So that was it! A jam-packed holiday! We miss the 'Singaporean boys' and can't wait till the next get together!! Christmas perhaps??



It was especially nice for Solomon to have so many boys to play with for a change!
