我相信聖誕

Merry Christmas, everyone. Happy Birthday, Jesus!

這是今年聖誕音樂劇:“真愛聖誕鞋”中我最喜歡的一首歌:我相信聖誕

在年幼時候 我曾聽見一故事 述說基督降生在伯利恆
但我從不曾明瞭 祂的榮耀如何奇妙 直到生命交托在祂手中
雖然我眼從不曾看見 我知祂活在我心中
祂就是奇蹟來到人間 在兩千年以前

喔 今我相信聖誕 因為我已相信耶穌
我相信神獨生子 為救罪人來到世間
明光照耀 點亮人的心田 喔我相信

我不能明瞭 為何生活中有苦難 神從未應許天色會常藍
但我知萬古以前 神為我已早有預備 我也知祂必將最美好給我
雖然我眼從不曾看見 我知祂活在我心中
祂就是奇蹟來到人間 在兩千年以前

喔 今我相信聖誕 因為我已相信耶穌
我相信神獨生子 為救罪人來到世間
明光照耀 點亮人的心田 喔我相信

這不是在傳說中的童話故事 而是救主降世為人 祂離棄天上榮華
讓世人看見 成為聖誕禮物

喔 今我相信聖誕 因為我已相信耶穌
我相信神獨生子 為救罪人來到世間
明光照耀 點亮人的心田 喔我相信 我相信 我相信

認識10周年hotpot party-12/5/09



認識10周年的慶祝活動之一就是請當初撮合我們的有功人士到家裡吃火鍋。
We met at Darlene's cousin's violin concert 10 years ago, and the next week, Darlene, Peter, Jennifer, Philip, Stephen and I went to Hotpot City together, and after that, we started writing the emails, and after that.......you know.
Darlene's mom is my parents' good friend, so we invited them, too. Besides that, we met one of Stephen's previous officemate at 天道書樓,and we invited him as well.
It was a nice gathering. My father made all different kinds of good dipping sauces , and Darlene made a delicious Grape Pie which Ha loved it so much and asked her for the recipe. We also had good sharing time. We thank God for these wonderful relatives and friends.

2009 thanksgiving

再不趕快寫,Christmas 都要到了........

The most memorable thing in this Thanksgiving was that I prepared the turkey. We were having the party at my brother-in-law's house; however, their oven was broken, so they thought of coming to our house to cook the turkey. It's not feasible to have them come back and forth during the long cooking period, so I offered to cook the big bird which I haven't done it for quite a few years. No problem. I have a 賢惠的 friend, and we had juicy and tasty turkey at her house last year, so I emailed her a "SOS", and asked for help. She gave me detailed instructions, and the turkey turned out to be better than I expected..I'll say..pretty good; at least, I loved it. When I have time, I'm going to post the recipe on my other website: http://happyfamilyandfriendskitchen.blogspot.com/

My parents were in my house during the Thanksgiving, and they helped us to assemble the headboard for Ha's bed on Friday. Then, we had a lunch at Hotpot City. It's usually expensive, but it's cheaper on weekday lunch hours. Ha and Hee liked the experience of "火烤兩吃”, and I liked 刨冰 the best. We also tried to get some ideas for the 認識10周年hotpot party at our house on 12/5 (which I will write it later when I have time.). In the afternoon, we went to SFO to pick up 2 girls from Taiwan. Ha, Hee, Stephen and my dad went for the free air train rides while Mom and I were waiting for the girls. Kids had a lot of fun just by riding the air trains back and forth for a few times. We went for a little SF tour trying to get them to the hotel, had a dinner together in SF and went home.

On Sat., we went to Vasona Park for biking(actually, we also went biking at Lake Elizabeth on Thursday before I worked on the turkey). Biking, biking, everywhere! Well, Ha and Hee went biking , and we were jogging after them. It's a very good exercise.

That's about it. Here is a photo movie. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDFs_TfYYVI

Hee's class: Thanksgiving Music Program-11/24/09


11/24 是穿睡衣上學日,也是Hee 班的音樂表演日。
Usually, they don't wear pajamas at home, and after shower, they just wear whatever they are going to wear for the next day, so they don't have to change the clothes again in the cold morning. I helped them to pick the clothes which "look like" pajamas for this special day.
Kindergarten classes prepared a 30-min music program with about 6 or 7 songs, and kids wore different kinds of hats: turkey, indians and pilgrims. Hee was a little Indian.
Here is the video clip for one of the songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAOXE8lhMWc
