<\/a>C r A z Y…when the\u00a0Ling Family get together, especially the 6 of us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The family is always complete on Christmas unlike 1st day of CNY, some of\u00a0us have to be with the in-laws. The tradition has always be that we have makan-makan on the eve of Christmas with some self-organised performance and caroling then followed by presents time. On the morning of Christmas day, we will be at church to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with other fellow Christians.<\/p>\n

We take turn to host each year’s Christmas. This\u00a0time is 2nd sis turn and that is the reason why we were in Penang last Christmas.\u00a0 Here are the photos……<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each year we did our own caroling but this year, 2nd sis invited\u00a05 young and sweet carolers.<\/p>\n

The kids put up some dances.\u00a0Ideas and creation all came from my talented 11 years old eldest niece. We were so impressed with them. Even the youngest grandchild\u00a0were part of\u00a0the performance as “Baby Jesus” in a “manger”.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who is the Santa this year? The host of course…my 2nd BIL. This is a\u00a0naughty Santa cause he tried to throw the kids into the pool. Jonathan boy is afraid of him too. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The eve of Christmas is bring to close with a prayer from my Dad. Dad always prayed very meaningful prayers and he never forgets to bless his children, son-in-laws and grandchildren.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, this is the Ling family. The family pic gets outdated every year with new addition in the family.\u00a0 3rd sis will be expecting a baby in June.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And Dad is waiting for his youngest daughter to find a soulmate and get married! Ahem…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last but not least…Presents time. The kids can’t wait to find out what’s inside all the pretty wrapped boxes\u00a0and so were their mommies. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

We forgot to take the pics of the food (except\u00a0the sushi)\u00a0but never\u00a0forget to mention the yummy food we had.\u00a0 Laksa, sushi, pandan chicken, sponge cake and soya jelly. Yummy, all homemade.\u00a0 Eldest sis very pro in making sushi with lots of\u00a0fish caviar\u00a0and mayo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
