byebye 2008

here's a quick summary of all the events that we went through ever since ellie was born =P i just didn't have the time to update the blog as the events ended. i would rather catch up on my sleep if i have extra time ;)

Christmas 2008~
although ellie seemed to like eating the wrapping paper and climbing over the presents more than opening presents and ethan was more interested in playing with ellie's present more than his, we still had fun ^O^ even the cats had fun playing in the empty boxes.


here they are opening presents. ethan was distracted and ellie was acting like an all-terrain vehicle ^^;

here's ellie enjoying her christmas present:


Pumpkin Patch!
I took ethan to pumpkin patch this year to pick out pumpkins so we can carve them. there were bounce house, slides, some dangerous looking rides but ethan didn't want to try them out. it was an experience we had to try out. i probably would just get the pumpkins from market this year..


Halloween
we went to riverside plaza for trick-or-treating. we figured that it would be safer and more fun that way than knocking on people's door. we got everything from candies to a free kids meal at Islands restaurant. mr. i-fight-monsters was a little scared when he saw kids wearing zombie masks ^^; ethan dressed up as his favorite blue robot. the mask was too big so he didn't keep it on long enough for me to take pictures.
