It is Christmas eve today, but I managed to squeeze out some time in the day to finish up my rabbit project, please meet Miss Rabbit Fufu



after dinner, the girls are excited to open up presents, especially Papi's present, they were curious about what Papi got for Christmas since the day they came home, I refused to tell them and they keep bugging  me "I won't tell Papi, please.... what you get for Papi?"

Clare can't wait to open present FOR Papi



it's a blanket Papi! now we can take this along when we go on a road trip

look Papi, there are more present for you



"What's in there?" said Papi



"It's a toy!" said Clare



after all that, we play card, Papi is happy to join in too



and when he is tired, he just lay under the table, near our feet, with his new blanket, awww... so so cute!

December 27

We are sad today as Clare is flying back to CA, and then she and her boyfriend are going to NYC for a short trip.

December 31

It is New Year's eve, like the last few years, we just want to stay home and watch the New Year count down, love Anderson Cooper with Kathy Griffin, they are a funny pair.

I baked some sugar cookie with my new cookie stamp today.

Overall, it was a good year and it is time to say

December Daily 2014 ~ December 11 to 19

We went to Olivia Newton John's concert on Saturday, at 66, she is amazing, lose a bit of her voice but  the show was make up with fabulous backup singers and she sang all my favorite hits, especially those from "Grease", reminded me of my high school years back in the late 70s, ahhhh...... wonderful show after all!

I've decided to step down from LESSology Challenge Blog this year, just for a change. I never like to do things in the same routine and I have been on the team since they started probably 3 years ago? It was fun and I love all the projects and challenges, but I also want to get out of the same cycle. Well, let's get on with my project today.

December 11

I went shopping for things in my new painted dining room today, got the shelf, the bracket, the photo frame, cake stand and mason jars, but hubby is not feeling well, so will have to wait before I can complete the decor.

saw this cute thing on the internet and made one for the home

also added new ornaments for the tree this year

I stand in line for 40 minutes at the post office just to get my packages out, our post office here is so badly run, it has only one staff working now, even during holiday period, not only he take breaks as and when he likes, there were numerous time I went there and found out that they are on break, I even took a photo of their break time hanging outside the wall of the post office, but they never follow and just close the door whenever they like, I bought all my postal stamps and drop the cards in the mail box so I don't have to go to the post office for regular mails, but for overseas packages, I need a custom declaration form so I still have to wait in line to do that, sigh..... I am thinking what should I do next year?

This evening, we had the pleasure of having dinner with Ambassador of Singapore and the Consulate General, Ambassador Mirpuri made a official visit Las Vegas, it is nice for him to reach out and wanting to meet Singaporean living in this area, being the President of the club, I organized a dinner with him and the people.

This is Singapore Ambassador to the US Ambassador Ashok Kumar Mirpuri from D.C

and this is the Consulate General of Singapore Embassy in San Francisco Mr. Christopher Cheang.

December 12

Ever since we let Papi run free at our backyard, and didn't realize that he actually peep outside, he is now "back to the wild", I took him for his weekly walk today and he actually peep and poop on the side walk, my months of training all down to the drain, bad boy Papi!

December 13 

We came home and found out that Papi bite the plug of the christmas tree, oh no Papi, bad boy again!

December 14

I googled and fixed the plug of the christmas tree, oh I meant I googled "my dog bite the plug of the christmas tree" and read about how to fix it  and then get my hubby to do the job, LOL!

Fixed! Boo boo Papi!!!!

One more batch of cards and gifts out today, guess this is last for 2014, no more post office!

We went to the Michael Jackson ONE cirque show this evening, not our favorite even though it is their 2nd best seller for Cirque de Soleil

December 17

I am all excited that both my girls will be home tomorrow! I guess Papi is too!

December 18

Pick up Clare at the airport at 9 am, and then Dolce at 12:30 PM

I am happy they are home!!!!

December 19 

Dolce came along when Papi and I do our weekly walk this morning, it was cold and breezy.

and then Dolce and I clean the garage, found Dolce's first pair of glasses, and it fit Papi just right!

I also found a toy I bought for Dolce when we still living in New York City, Randy and I came to Las Vegas and I bought this soft toy for her, look who he looks like?

guess I already have a dream dog in mind long before Papi was even born, no wonder I fell in love with him at first sight when I first saw him at Pier one a year and a half ago.

Papi like to look out of the glass door, and now there are 3 of them, isn't this picture so precious?

Project Life 2014 ~ Nov 26 to 30

Project Life 2014

November 26

Papi went for his 3rd visit at Woof Gang Grooming, so far we are really happy with the groomer Stacey, she did a good job.

November 27

Clare, her boyfriend Jared came home around 1.30 AM with two of their friends, Michelle and Jonathan, we are happy that the kids are here to spent Thanksgiving with us.
Here's the photo we took when the kids just stepped into the house, guess who Clare hugs first?

For Thanksgiving dinner, we baked two chickens instead of turkey, lots of potato and peppers, we have steamed corn and edamame for sides, and my homemade croissants too.

Jonathan is the cameraman, so we don't have him in this picture

We have been letting Papi run outside whenever he sees birds taking bird bath at our water fountain in the backyard, we would open the glass door, and he will only run outside when we give him the "OK", and in 2 seconds, he is up on the top of the fountain, of course by the time he is out, the birds all flew away, so he was like looking right, look left, trying to see where the birds gone too, it was so funny, we called him Lion King.

November 28

Papi's favorite is to stand in front of the glass door and waits for the birds, once he sees them, he will be asking us to let him out

"Come on mom, open the door, open the door, they are outside, I want to chase the birds away!!!!"

November 29

The kids really like the yoghurt I made for them for breakfast, we also took them out for Korean BBQ.

November 30

The kids are driving back to CA early this morning, I woke up a bit late and trying to rush out of the house to say goodbye to them, and hurt my fingers in a rush, half of my nails nearly fell off, it hurts so bad.
