Coffee bean and Cakes Celebration

 


just a small celebration.. only 2 friends Cindy and Karen, so I guess they don't mind the celebration was small.. the coffee and cakes were yummy.. We would have loved to ask more friends...but funny how it seems 1st month celebration for Chinese is more popular then the Baptism.. We would have liked to invite Fr J too but seems like we cannot. Hmm.. anyway, look at how big the coffee dispenser is.

Reversed mirror image

 


Both Brian and I somehow like this picture a lot.. it's like a reversed mirror image.. look at Mother Mary behind holding baby Jesus, and I holding Helena.. reversed in terms of Sanctity of course !!

Finally, Helena is baptised. :) We dressed her up as a princess.. look how cute she is. But she cried throughout the half hour baptism.. guess she was overtired and hungry?
