My Ma Ma's Xmas Gift

This is my Ma Ma's Xmas Gift for 2007! :) Ain't Me a Darling?

Getting Ready - Ricco's 1st Xmas & 1st BD

Christmas spells a time to outwardly express lotsof love, care and concern. A time to tell our family how much they mean to us, a time to let good friends who are always in touch know that they are special and a time to let good friends who are seldom in touch know that they will always be thought of. As usual, I started collecting (with monies out) xmas gift right from the onset of Dec. A time that I can officially shop without thinking twice :) A time to plan for the huge xmas eve dinner, little gifts for all present.. Oh Yes, I am indeed looking forward though it can be quite a bit of planning :)

This is Ricco's 1st Xmas. The 1st Xmas gift from his parents ought to be something special, something which he can look back and hold in his hands and say "This is a gift so dear for my 1st Xmas from my parents". I thought hard and long.. It came to me as I was walking through watsons. Yes, I will buy Ricco his 1st Xmas Sock! This is a gift that I can use yr after yr - placing it by his bedside after he's gone to bed and filling it with small gifts and candies. Before long, this will be a familiar gift which he can unwrap to see what fillings he's got inside yr after yr. This is a gift which he can keep for a long long time to come. This is a gift which he can say "My mummy does this yr after yr without fail". And this is a gift that reminds everyone that its xmas! I am happy with my decision.

Ricco's BD is just round the corner and planning has got to start NOW as it falls during the CNY Day 4. Getting the cake and the caterer can be quite a challenge during this festive season with many bakeries closed for a good 1 week and caterers serving only chinese new yr menu. I cant possibly have a 1st BD without a BD cake? I cant possibly serve yu sheng for my boy's 1st BD! Thus, planning gotta start NOW!

The Theme : Jungle Fun Bash
The Cake : Jungle 2-tier from eCreative (at this pt in time)
The Place : Function Room Domain (yes, i MUST call 1st thing 9am on 29th Dec)
The Buffet : Purple Sage (at this pt in time)
The Guests : All Ricco's friends and relatives (if you are reading this, you too!)
The Gift : Oh, I gotta crack my brains to think of yet another meaningful gift! Need more time on this

Extremely Looking forward!
