Little Random Details About Me

And the little one is terrified of Santa -_-! She was so terrified that she was crying and trying to wriggle away even though I was carrying her hah. We spent Christmas this year in Moscow with a couple of Singaporean friends. As of today, I think Sienna is Charlotte's best friend. The only friend she is most familiar with haha. All thanks to Alene, we had a fantastic Christmas meal on Christmas eve! The turkey was delicious! So grateful to have  a friend like her in Moscow. The best part of it, our kiddo are almost the same age. This makes hanging out together so much more convenient. I am pretty sure Charlotte enjoyed herself this festive period. From playing toys at Sienna's place to roaming the city. The city of Moscow has so many entertainment for kids this year. There are carousel at almost every Christmas market and they are all free! She loved it! On Christmas day, she also got to open her present from us :) A teapot set. She seems to be enjoying it

Moscow is gradually catching up on the Christmas spirit. Traditionally, Christmas in Russia, in the Russian Orthodox Church is celebrated on 7th Jan. This year, we see more Christmas trees, decorations etc everywhere. Even at the frozen ponds that people ice skates on, there are Christmas trees and decorations popping up. These were not seen last year. We were pleasantly surprised at the sight! Charlotte too had her share of fun running on the frozen pond. The moment we let her down, she dashed towards the tree. Charlotte and her winter essential, a shovel. We had fun coming down the snow slope too. Of course it was nothing compared to snow boarding. But  with a toddler around, it was better than nothing.

Despite the gloomy and freezing weather, we've decided to bring Charlotte down for some snow play. During winter, every kid here will be holding a shovel to dig in the snow instead of a tiny sand spade. Thus we followed suit hah. What started off as a white canvas, was slowed being doodled upon by Charlotte and her shovel. Dragging her shovel along is her version of digging. As long as she's having fun...
