Christmas 2011 - A time for gifts, family and good cheer!

Its the holiday season and its time for shopping!! On Saturday, Dec 24, we landed up at Ishi's school to realize there was no class. So we used the time to go shopping! We wanted to show her Santa too, so we took her to Ambience Mall. Here is its huge gift pyramid and christmas tree, and other xmas decorations.

 


We didn't see any Santas around, so it was off to the kids stores. Since our usual haunt 'Mom & me' was shut for renovations, we raided Mothercare! Top on the list was a car seat for Ishi. We finally got one..and its Pink! With butterflies! :)

But that was not all! Apart from clothes and woolies, we found another 'must have' item at the store - a playpen! We had been looking for one for ages! Here is Ishi store testing the one on display!

We got one with bars all the way around instead of the net. Though it gives a more 'jail' like look, she can hold on to the bars all the way around and move about. The net, on the other hand, is more confining and she had no hold on those sides. The units of the pen can also be used as room dividers and gates!

Then it was Christmas Eve! Dida and newly-weds Tuki Maashi and Deepak Mesho came over with cake and more gifts! Dida was fresh back from her Nepal trip and Maashi & Mesho back from their Kashmir honeymoon! They brought back T-shirt for Dad, pashmina shawls and glittery beads for Mom and a softer-than-soft yellow poncho for me! I love it! That night was one of the coldest Christmasses ever (almost 0 degrees Celsius!!), but our house was full of warmth and love. Here we are celebrating Xmas 2011.
