So off we went one evening to Robinson's. Their ornaments were beautiful. I could only look at the shatterproof ones though. (Glass obviously out of the question with the kids) Anyway I spent a good hour or so picking out all sorts of ornaments. Cate and Emma were being entertained by the salegirls. They gave them little snow boxes where they would clap and it would start to snow inside the box (see below). Kept them entertained for quite a while...
Anyway, the anti-climax to all this is that, we didn't buy any ornaments in the end. Paul was like "How much is this, how much is that,... how many of this do you need...." So I got too stressed out and returned everything to the shelves/baskets. Decided to use our old ornaments from before Emma was born. We could have made a trip to Concourse where I know the stuff there is really cheap and nice too, but everyone was already way too excited about the tree and we kind of NEEDED to have it up IMMEDIATELY.
We rushed home, got the tree and ornaments out, and the Chew's big and small, all got busy hanging the ornaments ....and voila!!!.... Our tree was up in less than an hour!!! Cate and Emma were so happy with their tree, they were dancing in front of the tree with just the christmas tree lights on until we had to carry them off to bed. We may not have got fancy ornaments but the girls loved their tree just the same... :D
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!!

Nice what your tree ! Say until you tree like nothing ! I see you touched up the lights huh :) Nice and foggy glowing effect all hehe ! You got presents under the tree already !? I hope there's one for me down there ! -Shengko
I didn't touch up the lights! This was how my camera phone took the pic! I think the blurriness is just what my camera does. Reason I posted this picture so late was cos I thought I needed Paul to take the picture with his super high end camera. He took so long that I just took the pic with my phone and thought it looked pretty good!
NO PRESENTS under the tree! They are all the kids' cars and trolleys and toys that used to be parked where the tree is now. So sorry shengko,... no presents for you under the tree! :P
