Dec 30th : The Ries' Christmas Party ( MeiLee's 1st Christmas )

The day came.... ^__^. MeiLee has been ready hours before the party started. We played in the bedroom. Ronnie's still in bed. I dressed MeiLee with a jumper this time. Put on a head band and skirt. He he he.

She sat on top of Ronnie's belly.Suddenly she fell backward. AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We laughed. Kakakakakakaka. Ronnie pulled her back and played again for a while.

Dave came with his kids minus Joyce ( She didn't feel good ). Steve came without Pam and kids. Not too many people like last year,but we did have fun.

Danae spent lots of time with MeiLee. She likes kids. ^___^. We started dinner abt 6pm. It's light meal this time, sandwiches. Lots of appetizers. I made Deviled Eggs. Bought Black Forest Cake the other day from Sam's Club, the 60 oz one. Kenyangggggggggggggggg.

I played as a Santa this year.^___^. Put the hat on and rang the bell.....
Gave the presents to everybody. It's been Ronnie's custom to give presents to his nieces,nephews and brothers.

Mom got a watch from Mary n Matt. Steve gave Mom a nice robe. Ronnie gave Mom a Home Depot gift card.

MeiLee got a doll from Bryan ^___^. Besides,she got some clothes from Grandma and Dece. Daddy bought MeiLee and Mommy a giant Tiger doll. Alamakkkkkkkkkkkk... bikin kaget aja !!! Belinya kok Tiger ?? Mbok ya Panda gethoooo :P

After everybody got a present,we started doing the exchange gifts. It's a fun one. Everybody couldn't wait . Ha ha ha ha ha.

Ronnie got the 1st chance to pick the present. He got the digital pic viewer key chain.Then Mary got the same thing. Steve got a shirt. Dave got a skillet. I got earrings!!! Mom stole the pic key chain from Ronnie,and Ronnie stole the shirt from Steven. Steven stole the dart board from Matt, and Matt stole the skillet from Dave. The beauty stuff was back to Dave ( he brought it for the exchange gift ). It's really funny !!!!

I love the earrings I got. It's been a long time never put on earrings. Since MeiLee's born, I didn't put any earrings or other jewelries. Just only wear the Baby Ries' necklace. Now,it's time to go back to jewelries. :P

Party's over abt 8pm. We cleaned up the table. Wrapping some food to take home for Dave n Matt. I myself had lil nap on the couch before going to the bar.Duhh...tiredddddddddddd...........

Went to the bar at 10 pm and went home abt 3 am. What a longgggggggggg nite.

Merry Christmas!!!! God bless you all !!!
