聖誕感恩的季節 Christmas Season

聖誕節裝飾已經陸續完成，今年比去年更用心一點，增加了馬槽和經文倒數月曆。也許就這樣每年增加一兩樣，慢慢的我們家庭的聖誕慶祝規模也會漸漸擴大。

詳細的作法分享寫在我的手作站佳娜媽咪裡：
1.紙娃娃馬槽
2.聖誕經文倒數月曆


今年從感恩節前開始，我用年度全家福照做了一些感恩卡片，計畫送給一些國內外的朋友，一直到昨天才將國外的寄出，要變成聖誕新年卡了，哈！
這算是今年的小小實驗，排版編輯好成A3大小，然後去輸出店卡紙彩色輸出，回來自行裁切，一張卡片成本NT$2.5。希望來年也能用這樣的模式送出更多的卡片。

天冷吃brunch

大概是天氣冷的關係，今天早上孩子們起的晚，我們一起吃brunch，內容有：草莓土司、牛奶饅頭、榛果熱可可。三人圍坐在餐桌邊，一起歡樂地用餐。
吃飽了的開心模樣。
因為粒粒總是心花怒放的笑嘻嘻模樣，所以歡樂，身邊的人都受她感染。我跟千千輪流將土司、饅頭撕成碎片放進粒粒的餐盤，粒粒自己用手抓吃得很好。

為了準備搬家，陸續整理衣物東西，因此被千千找到了一個一年前買童裝收到的贈品，一個桃紅色的可愛小包，千千現在玩正是時候，每天出門買菜或是去公園都要背著。
千千跟粒粒都是愛笑的開心小孩，帶給我們很多的歡樂，每天每天都是，寶貝，謝謝妳們！
喔～順帶一提，粒粒已經不再需要口水巾了，她現在不會總是嘴巴開開了。:)

(10m) 拍拍手～ Clap Your Hands

Lily is almost 11 months big. Just a week ago we started a new game with her. We clapped our hands and said "clap your hands", pat our heads and said "pat your head"...etc. Lily was drawn to this game and came to join us.

At first she simply sat with us and waved one hand like saying "come~ come~", trying to do our moves. (So CUTE!) Soon we found that she can do clapping hands along. This is the first move she's learned this way! :D

粒粒快11個月大了。約一個禮拜前我們開始玩一種新遊戲：一邊拍手一邊說「拍拍手」、摸頭「摸摸頭」等等，以此類推。粒粒很快被吸引過來。

剛開始只是跟我們坐在一起，揮動他的一隻小手好像在說「來～來～」一樣，好似想要模仿我們！(超可愛～)不久我們驚喜地發現她也會跟著拍手了，這是她第一個學會模仿的動作呢！

隨著千千和粒粒的互動越來越多，我心中也常有「還好，我們生了兩個孩子」的想法。影片中可看出千千和粒粒的互動，粒粒或站或爬，經常抬頭看姊姊的動作。千千經常在屋裡跑來跑去，粒粒有時迅速跟在後面爬去，有時只是張開著口呆呆地看著姊姊的身影，非常有趣。

昨天在士林瞄到千千坐在書房電腦桌前看家庭短片、粒粒扶著椅子站在一旁仰頭張望跟著瞧，這畫面好溫馨可愛，我偷偷叫老公和爸媽快來看。

整體來說千千是個好姊姊，已經很久沒有欺負妹妹的動作，遇到妹妹撲向她正玩著的玩具時，會大叫求助。看到妹妹要摸危險的東西或動作，會拉住妹妹大叫媽媽幫忙。媽媽很感激有這樣的小幫手，也希望你們能繼續珍惜如此的姊妹情深。

Evelyn The Little Star

This week was really fun. Evenly got opportunities to act like little movie star.

Wednesday night, she played little elf in a video for a big home appliances company. There was another boy along with Evelyn. They put on yellow costumes and played around the studio. That's what they had to do and got paid! This was introduced through my cousin. The team came to a photo studio not far from my dad's company. After we finishing shooting, the owner of that studio came to me and asked if Evelyn is in the business or if we are interested.

Thursday afternoon, we were invited to a star management company to shoot file pictures. This opportunity came coz I sent her pictures in for fun last week. Didn't really expected to get the invitation.

Since Evelyn often get attentions and questions about whether she's in the show business, I rather just grab opportunities whenever it comes. I think playing in commercials or photo modeling is okay as long as they don't interfere her daily routine. A simple and happy childhood is still my goal for her.
