Dearest Little Skyler,
Today is Boxing Day, i.e. the day after Christmas. There are several guesses amongst us as to why it’s called Boxing Day but Papa’s guess is that this is the day the most people in the world who celebrated Christmas will box up all their Christmas trees, decorations, presents, etc. :D
Today was also the day we celebrated your birthday with our families.
We had your 3rd Birthday Party with Mama’s family i.e. ‘po-po’, ‘kow-fu’ and ‘kow-mo’. We were supposed to have celebrated together with Papa’s family but as ‘po-po’ could not make it at night (as per the original plan) we had to have a birthday lunch instead.
We had a log cake for your birthday cake. Then ‘po-po’, ‘kow-fu’ and ‘kow-mo’ gave you their presents! ‘Po-po’ gave you a jade chick and an ‘ang pow’ while ‘kow-fu’ and ‘kow-mo’ gave you an activity centre that made lots of noise and had lots of buttons for you to press. You were so thrilled by it. :D
Later in the evening, we had your 4th Birthday Party with Papa’s family (grandma, ‘ah pek’ ‘ah m’, ‘che-che’ Reika and ‘kor-kors’ Yujin and Kenji) plus ‘kow-fu’ and ‘kow-mo’ came back as well. Once again there was lots of food, noise and yet another cake! :D
Grandma gave you an ‘ang-pao’ and ‘ah pek’ and ‘ah m’ gave you a wooden castle (the kind where you had to move pieces along a wire frame).
So many people love you so much, Little One. This whole period saw a lot of rain every day and yet everyone took the trouble to come down to celebrate your birthday. :D
We love you, Little One.
Papa and Mama
