It’s new year again!!! Well, I got to have something new at home for the new year right? So, I decided to rush out doing the table cloth just to welcome the new year! Happy New Year 2010 everyone!

Finally, we decided to buy a tree this year to make Christmas more cheerful in the house. I guess especially for Nathan, he is very excited about the tree. The gifts that he has received so far, he has put them under the tree. Maybe he doesn’t know what is inside and that’s why he could resist the temptation of opening up the gifts. After all it’s his first year of Christmas that he really “know” what is going on. I’ve been busy creating some crafts myself. I did the stockings for three of us. Mine is taking the longest time since I quilted some difficult pattern using my friend’s pattern – Wendy (check out her wonderful works using the links). We’re ready for Christmas morning to capture the joys and excitement from the little one. Of course, we’ve been constantly telling him that Christmas is all about Jesus and not about tree and gifts . Here are some of the pictures of the decoration I’ve done around the house. Not that much, but maybe next year we’ll include some of the handmade crafts that I could make with Nathan. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone! Another year has passed by…

This is a Christmas gift for a dear friend.

Some of you might not think that this is not a biggie. But to me and Andy, it’s another milestone for Nathan. Finally, Nathan could go to sleep without daddy or mommy’s company! It started out last night when I actually sneaked out of the bedroom before he fell asleep. Of course, after he realized that mommy is gone, he left his own room and came out. I was not happy because I was lying in the bed with for more than 30 min! So, I told him to go to bed by himself… in a angry tone!! He got my message loud and clear without a fuss. After a while, i checked on him, he was sound asleep. Today, I tried asking him to take a nap by himself because it was way passed his nap time, so he fell asleep without a fuss also. We tried another round tonight, he did cry a little. But he was ok after a while. Yea… we did it. I thought I’ve to keep this routine with him for a long time. Apparently, it’s not so hard when he is so ready to do so.
