Merry Christmas 2009 - from boonspot.blogspot.com

Has it really been a year already?! It was just like yesterday that we were stuck in OR during the 2008 US NW snow storm and were driving around in the snow in our neighborhood enjoying the Christmas lights and decorations. Anyways, Christmas this year is truly different - IL, Ab and I truly enjoyed ourselves. With an extended holiday (thanks to our babysitter... ;)), we really spent loads of time together this Christmas. We also managed to fulfil our "family tradition" of watching Home Alone (I) during Christmas - last year, we watched it at the Embassy Suites, Tigard.

We also got to spend some time with our cell group at the Roadhouse Grill. Too bad we did not get to stay throughout the entire time (I've heard reports that they partied on till about 2AM... them party animals!!!).

Also, this year, Ab's been asking a lot about Christmas, about Jesus and God too - she's at the "why" age, and we've been having loads of fun (and challenge) explaining the concept of God to her. We=IL, our cellgroup and I. But one thing that soothed her inquisitive mind were the bible stories... :) Thank God!

Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus... in Ab's bible.

Well, it's been a wonderful Christmas for all of us. We hope that you have had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with your family and friends, and love ones - remembering that without Him, all this would not have been possible. May the peace, love, joy and hope of the Lord be unto you as we celebrate Christ-mas, and as we usher in the new year, 2010. Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year... Keong Hee, Keong Hee...
