Merry Christmas!

Here's Justin's latest trick — drinking milk while holding the bottle on his own. Doesn't he look sassy with his legs crossed like that?!

Today for lunch we had a small gathering at Pattra's apartment. For that, I baked a pumpkin pie and we also brought over some Jenny-Os turkey bacon and a bottle of wine (I know, that's a strange combination!). We had dinner at Karen & John Lam's apartment. For that, I baked a gammon smoked ham (4 pound, boneless). Yep, lately I've certainly been in the cooking mood.

On Christmas Eve, I had lunch at Kublai's with John & Gloria Young who are visiting from New York. They also came by our apartment to see little Justin. In the evening, we had a nice dinner at Rob & Janey Ho's apartment in Happy Valley.

Oh, I thought I'd also share that I'm really getting into drinking wine. My current favorite is Irvine's Eden Crest Merlot from Eden Valley in Australia.

Right now, the local temperature is just starting to dip down to the forecasted 9- to 12-degrees Celsius (48- to 54-degrees Fahrenheit). Our livingroom window is starting to fog up! We'll no doubt be bringing out our fan heaters tonight!

We enjoy another public holiday tomorrow (26th, boxing day) and the following day (Friday), Gwen and I have taken annual leave so we have a nice, long weekend ahead of us — woohoo!
