Christmas celebration with Qi Ning

Last year Christmas, Qi Ning was too young to enjoy it. This year she really have a ball!! It begins with all the shopping in The Curve, Ikea and Mid-valley. She saw the real santa clause in Mid-valley for the first time but she was afraid of him. We took lots of photos with the christmas deco. Too bad, i dunno how to insert all the photo or else I would love to post the photo for all to see (dh will say no no!).
This year she followed us for carolling. Last year, I left her at home while I went carolling with dh. She refused to sleep and waited till we came home from carolling, poor baby. This year we decided we will take her along but we will not go to all the houses. We manage to go for two houses each night on 23rd & 24th Dec. First night she was so excited, runnning all over the place when we reach the first house. I let her drink her first vitagen drink on the night. she was very happy.
On the second night (24th Dec), she realised she could go to the santarina to get goodies from her basket. Good thing she still dunno that all those goodies ( sweets and chocolates) can be eaten. I don't intend to let her eat all the goodies yet. She just take it out from the basket and put it back or go round giving people the goodies. So sweet!! She is more busy then all of us.
Both night we reached home about 10.30pm and by the time she get ready to go to bed she is really tired. She usually sleeps between 9-9.30pm.
On Christmas day, we went to church. She wore the new dress that auntie Grace gace to her as Christmas present. And On christmas day, she can call people auntie clearly and also say Ah Ma (grandma) clearly. We called my parents and pass the phone to her, encourage her to say Ah Ma and she did. My mum was so thrill that Qi Ning could address her as Ah Ma! :)
On Boxing day, brought her to Tesco while daddy has to rush for some church work. While waiting for daddy, we eat Baskin Robbin ice-creams, strawberry and mango ice creams, yummy yummy she says! Actually this few days, mummy has been very lazy to cook porridge for Qi Ning, she has been eating whatever we are eating and sometime just potato bread or tomato and cheese sandwich. Qi Ning also had cawanmushi for lunch.
I think overall she enjoy the festive season and most of all she had mummy and daddy with her for the past few days. So last night, dh and I had to remind her that is work day today, she should not cry when we go to work. This morning, when I have to leave for work she did not cry,what an understanding girl!! Mummy loves you so much Qi Ning!

How old is Qi Ning? Sounds like she's about Zara's age?

We are equally guilty, during w/ends when we're out and about, just too lazy to cook for her, she eats what we eat. Poor girl, wonder if those extra salt and MSG will do her any good.
