Inspired by Mum in the Making and my good friend Jeanne, I am trying to start a series of weekly "Thankful Posts", in a bid to reflect on the little blessings and beauties in our lives. And more importantly, to leave a legacy of love, hope and optimism for the Bees when they read through the blog, especially as the world gets more complex.
I will not post photos for these "Thankful Posts" (so I can upload these posts even faster!), and will try to update this series on a weekly basis (every Sunday, if possible!). Thanks, Jus and Jeanne, for the inspiration!
This week, I am thankful for plenty of bonding time with family and friends! The week felt so long, simply because we could spend so many luxurious hours with loved ones, soaking in the love and happiness.
1) 24 Dec (Mon): A thoroughly enjoyable Christmas Eve gathering with the cousins and our nieces with sumptuous food and delightful gifts, where 2 generations of cousins can bond and catch up for the holidays.
2) 25 Dec (Tue): A beautiful walk through densely crowded Orchard Road as a family, chatting and yakking, whilst observing the festivities around us.
3) 26 Dec (Wed): A thrilling day spent in Universal Studios, bonding once again as a little family of 4, taking myriad rides and enjoying each other's presence throughout the day.
4) 27 Dec (Thu): The opportunity for the Bees to spend precious time with their friends, just before the hectic school term starts next week. Big Bee spent a wonderful afternoon with 5 of her friends whom she knew from kindergarten days, and Little Bee had a marvellous afternoon with 6 of her kindergarten friends in Amazonia.
5) 28 Dec (Fri): A delightful afternoon for Little Bee, spent role-playing in different occupations at The City in Liang Court with her buddies, WW, WD and Olivia. Followed by a relaxing dinner in a restaurant with a breathtaking view atop Orchard Road with close friends.
6) 29 Dec (Sat): After the hectic week of non-stop play, we celebrated simplicity and close-knit family time with a restful breakfast at a Parisian-style cafe in Universal Studios, followed by a long-awaited trip to our favourite library where we borrowed lots of books, and then a comforting steamboat dinner at home.
7) 30 Dec (Sat): A warm and cheery lunch with both sets of parents, where the Bees were literally smothered in love and affection by 4 grandparents.
What are you thankful for?
