Thanks Tessa for always sharing your celebrations with Heart2Heart and hubby James 🙂  We enjoyed!

I made sure this time I got a giveaway 🙂  And went home as always with a smile thanks to you

Javs was very insistent on having a christmas party for the household staff, so i told him to send me his proposal on writing and this is what he sent me…….

When I was a kid, My sister and I were in charge of the staff party which my Mom made us organize.  I am so glad that my son is very thoughtful and loves the household staff and that he is the one taking the initiative to do this on his own. He used his own saving to buy prizes and some ingredients for the food.

Here he is in boxer shorts 🙂  playing the games with the staff

We were busy moving houses that day and he stayed and prepared for the party.  It started at 730pm and we passed by at 10pm and this is what we saw in our garage – they were playing musical chairs 🙂

Their homemade food 🙂

 Since the year 2008, when I met Rachelle, I have celebrated Christmas with her in her home.  There was none last year since she was busy moving homes, so technically I have not missed any of her Christmas celebrations.  And I don’t plan to miss any for as long as I can.    Thank you Rachelle for always sharing with me your home and your friendship

Rachelle’s Angels December 9, 2009 

This is how she decorated her new home, a fresh pine tree 

And more fresh pine on the ledges of her place, I love the way she makes her home so cozy with her personalized touch

More pine on the ledges all over the condo 

On top of her cabinet 

On the dining table 

On her rails with stockings 

On the ledges of her stairs 

And other touches of Christmas all over her home 

And finally finished works form her painting class!!  

Rachelle was so proud to show us her present from Thomas.  Of course she has to be included in the photo 🙂 

We had dinner in the balcony of her penthouse!!!  BEAUTIFUL view and very windy up there!   

View of her condo from the balcony 

And her friends who came over to celebrate 

And husband, Chef Thomas, who hardly joins us, but that night he was there 🙂 

The buffet table and food from Enderun of course! 🙂

Creme Brulee Cake!! YUMMY!!!!!!
