Our Christmas Dinner 2007

I still remember Thanksgiving dinner ,we had so much leftover food for a week.So hubby remind me not to cook so much food again on Christmas afternoon while I'm preparing all the foods for dinner..I don't really plan a menu what to cook..so I omit 2 dishes..I shopped at Asian market the day before Christmas and bought plenty of fresh seafood and meat..Look at our dinner table.....I baked every foods except Stirred Fried Shrimp Artichoke and seafood soup..We had our dinner at 5 pm..nothing fancy this year...Last year,we celebrated our Christmas in Canada..
I made seafood savoury pie,stir fry shrimp Artichoke,seafood soup,5 spice roasted chicken and scallop potatoes...Everything is made from scratch except pie pastry..

Everyone love my savoury seafood pie and seafood soup..I took a piece at my special pie...it's really good...I never make this dish before and I wonder why...hubby keep praising what a million dollar dish is the savoury seafood pie..So today ,I make another special pie for our dinner..

Look at Mishu,she eat only shrimp in Artichoke and seafood pie..."Mishu you wanna some rice"mummy asked..."No No..I wanna shrimp""!!..Aiyoo..you eat all the shrimp in Artichoke"I said..*sigh*

Mishu know how to eat seafood,no pie crust..what a expensive taste she have!!

She asking for another seafood savoury pie..

OK..I'm done!!..

Of course,she finished another piece of seafood pie..We still have leftover food from yesterday dinner....Roast Chicken,scallop potatoes and arthicoke.....Hmmmmm......this Christmas dinner was successful..I didn't know the pie I created was so good....not even a small piece last until this morning..I will post my dinner meal in my Kitchen..hop over now!!..oh!!

Mishu push Singing Elmo away!!..Look at her daddy shocked face!!...hahaha!!..I laugh my ass off!!..I told him,don't buy toys for her!!.Her daddy thought she love Elmo ...Yes,she like to watch Elmo DVD once a while but.....

Daddy still can't believe that Mishu don't like Elmo's!!.He keep saying...now I feel like the other days when I order Scooby Doo Toy for her but she just walk away....I tell him to return it back to Walmart....disappointed daddy!!

OK...Mishu 3 rd gift....from Santa Clause daddy...hmmmm..look at her smiling face..

Snow White!!!She love it!!..."how to open daddy"..I want Snow White come out of the box"

"Daddy open"!!..Mishu keep shaking up and down but Snow White still didn't come out!!..

Now ,Snow White is safety in Mishu hands but what will Mishu do to her??..Guess what??..Mishu took out all her clothes,shoes and head band before the night is over!!..I think her Snow White NOT going to last long..hahaha!!

Mishu want to open mummy gift from daddy..

Hmmmmm....Outside look pretty ,right??.What it's?..I'm surprised hubby get me this...wow!!!

We agreed that half of my digital camera,which I took these photos is my Christmas gift....and the other half was my Birthday gift......but....well

A pair of Sapphire earrings..hehehe!! not bad.....hubby only know how to buy me earrings...Mother Day,Valentine,my Birthday and Christmas,all earrings...I told him to give me money,I go to Chinatown and get myself pure gold...but he want to buy present for me himself and he like surprises..well....

OK...hubby turn to open his present...we agreed half of his motorcycle in garage is his Christmas present...but I think he like this gift I choose for him and it's on sale at Kohl's..I know Christmas is very BIG deal for him and he love any celebration...
CK...Escape Cologne and After Shave..and another CK One..but didn't take the pix
Mickey Mouse ,Grumpy,Pirates of Caribbean T-Shirt from Disney Store
"what is this t-shirt"?..hubby asked...I told him Johnny Depp in Pirates the Caribbean.."it's on sale just $4.99 a piece,same price for short sleeves or long sleeves.Wear at home ".Hubby said"but I didn't see Pirates the Caribbean,so I dunno about this movie ,so can you exchange other cartoon characters for me"?..Aiyo..*sigh*
Mishu open her last gift...Did you see her "dress up glass slipper at her feets?

Mishu get her Disney Store t-shirt too...Minnie Mouse,Tinker Bell and Princess...Each piece is $4.99 as well...

You must wonder,why all the boxes printed Priority or USPS....Well,when I shop at the mall last week,most of the store run out of gift boxes,they told me to go back in 2 days with receipt to get

free wrapping boxes..I don't think it's critical not to use store boxes and I'm not going back to the mall just to get boxes,traffic is bumper to bumper,lines is long and so on.Anyway ,USPS boxes are FREE and durable!!..Overall,we all are satisfied with our Santa Choice except one!!..Stay tune for my Queens trip with Mishu...

Outdoor Christmas Decoration

See what I decorated for my outdoor Christmas.....Well,I'm afraid of height,so I'm not going to climb up the roof and hang all the lights. I just put up some lights around the lower part of my front siding and hedges when a medium height ladder..Hubby don't care if I decorate our home or not.....but when I see all my neighbourhood house do have their outdoor decoration,it's really lift my Christmas spirit...I love Christmas carol and love to see all the beautiful lightning twinkle every where at night..Today,we have Fire Bridge trucks carry Santa Clause and his friends around the neighbor with siren...Ho..Ho..Ho...Ho..
This is my front yard decoration...hmmm....too simple and plain....I get this three "Bambi" at Biglots at $34.99 last month.Mishu love her "Bambi" dearly..

Again this week,I go to Biglots to get this Spiral Christmas light at 50% off...$7.00 only...not bad price,right??

Look at one of my neighbourhood house decoration...They really go extreme crazy with blow up balloon..I didn't have the chance to get their Halloween decoration photos...It's really cool and their balloon are extremely much..... overflow to their yard and roof.

The same house..their decoration cover their tiny house.

Again the same house,right side..I notice they have some identical display over and over again at the front yard..

Again the same house..Isn't it too much or too cute?.. I think it's really overdone..

Their driveway...Ok...let go to left side of their house...

Santa's on motorcycles

Better sight here,looking at Santa on motorcycles...There is more decoration but it's raining...have to go....

This is my next door neighbour house....this decoration look good...Every year our neighbourhood house compete with each other for their most beautiful Christmas decoration in return for them to get the BEST Decoration title in local newspaper. This home lost a family member during 9/11 in NYC..Every year, they put up both twin tower during 9/11 until Christmas to remember their loved one.
