Second timer

This is just A.W.E.S.O.M.E. !!!! Actually, I (Mimi) did this for the first time when I was 5 years old and Me (Basti) did this experience at the age of 7. It was indeed unforgettable, so we thought of renewing the experience for the second time. Snow doesn't only mean skiing, snowboarding, alpine skiing or racket snowshoe hiking and the likes ...there is also the tyrolean or zip line. This is the longest one in Europe, measuring 1870  meters long cable. The sliding starts from the Drouvet summit (2655m) descending to the Lac Long (2500m). Attached by a specially adapted tackle sliding in a horizontal position, head first at speeds of up to 140km per hour. The whole sliding experience lasts approximately 1 minute 20 seconds. It's indeed a very  nice Christmas gift from Papa and Maman :D ! We assure you,  we were not forced to do this but we ask ask for it voluntarily ;) !

we did it !

Hello there, we've been so busy with all the things happening around us. And because Maman is a bit tired....guess what the coming of our third sibling demands a lot of time. She's working out on everything before the baby arrive. We thank her for still updating our site despite of busy schedule.

Last Christmas we have spent a wonderful white celebration between us in the Alps. We have enjoyed skiing with Papa while Maman gets some rest. We got the best gift ever this Christmas, I got my 3rd medal (3éme étoile) for ski while my sister got his snowflake medal (flocon). And just spending quality time with family will always be the best gift to celebrate the season. We'll share some of our photos to end this post ! Have a prosperous 2010 to all.

The proof that we have passed the ski test !

Christmas greetings

May all the sweet magic
of Christmas conspire
to gladden your heart
and fill every desire.

Light up with smiles.
Pace up your walk
May Christmas come and become an everyday happening
Have a fantastic Christmas !!!

Last week last year...

Before anything else we would like to greet you a very Happy New Year ! Cheers to us and to the year 2008 !Sorry, we know the greeting is a bit late because we were out of town having a great time in the Alps. Okay I know that you have already read the post of our Mom about how we spent the Christmas and New Year, yes it was quiet and white :D ! So we're here to tell you what was the highlight of the holidays for us...what else ? THE GIFTS....you can't blame us we are kids.

Now since I told to Santa that I would like to have Spiderman stuffs....I've got them. Thank you very much. I had a pair of gloves and a punching bag. Of course, I have received many gifts of Spiderman toys but I would not really identify them...bragging isn't my thing I am quite a discreet young boy. There are also non Spiderman stuffs and I really like them too. In fact, the most exciting part we love the most was when our Mom decorated the house with Christmas tree. It was exciting because we always love to see the lights on especially at night. Mom also put 2 socks decoration as you can see on our previous post. I have noticed that Mom puts the toys we collected and could be found in the kinder surprise chocolate. They serve them as a decorations too hanging on our Christmas tree ! My Mom always tell us that she isn't an artistic person but I think she made a bright idea, don't you think ?

Hey, I guess it's my turn to speak Kuya Basti ! In fact, I didn't really have much things to say because I was asleep already because of gastro...poor me. Anyhow, when I woke up the next morning voila mes cadeaux ! As for me I have asked Santa for Dora so I've also got them. There are other presents apart from Dora and I would like to say Million thanks to Santa, who is always generous. Oh about the Christmas tree, I am bit naughty when it comes to this ! Sometimes, I would take the decorations and play with them. My Mom always scold me or punish me because honestly I have broken some of them, yes I know it wasn't so nice of me...sorry ! But what can you do...kids will always be kids and don't tell me that when you were young you were an angel...come on !!!

The other highlight of the holiday season was when we went to the Alps to spend the New year there. If you will ask us if it was expensive we would say no...because it was a free stay for one week! COOL! Thanks to Papa's bestfriend, maybe he is Santa Clause! It was the nearest ski station in the South of France and we had fun fun and total fun. Our first time to spend the New Year in the Alps. It was a very memorable day for me because I had my second medal for my ski lessons meaning I have improved a lot after taking only one week training (for someone who is not used to snow) took the test and passed them. As for my sister, well she's too young to take lessons so she just went sliding, swimming and strolling. I think she also enjoyed the snow even Mom rented a ledge she didn't want to hop on it she was just pulling the ledge and that was it, she was contented !

Enjoy watching the videos of our racketeering day !

l'arbre de Noël

Last Sunday we went to the L'abre de Noël courtesy of our Papa's company...thank you for your effort in making this wonderful show! As usual we came one hour late because Mom had to chat with the family from the Philippines. She took time and we perfectly understand that. After chatting we left. On the way to Martigues we slept in the car to keep our energy for the last remaining hour of the spectacle. Arriving there, it was dark because the show started already. We went to look out for a place. Fortunately, we were not that close because Mayumi was afraid of the clowns and entertainers doing their magic. Blinking lights, loud laughs, clapping hands. She put her trembling hand on Papa's lap to let him know that she's not interested to watch the show. She turned her head and put on Papa's shoulder and tried to avoid watching the show. As for me, I was half asleep but because of the loud soundtrack I started to get fully awake. The show goes on and on, finally at the end of the show Santa came out and that was the only time Mayumi turned her head with a smile on her face. After the show, we went back stage and lined up to get the gifts we have chosen. Mayumi got her Dora trotinette and I got Spiderman toy, 2 books and 2 bags full of chocolates ! Sorry for the picture, that is the best shot Maman could have !

Santa is coming to town !

Now, these two Christmas socks are waiting for Santa's visit! I hope that Santa has our address....If not how can he give us his presents ? Honestly, they're waiting since one week ago :D! Oh we are not in a hurry but when we see the gifts under the Christmas tree it's kinda tempting. But don't worry we will be very patient and will be a good boy and girl. Anyway 4 days to go before Christmas and the waiting will be over ! Tssssrarannnnn !!! We can't wait for the surprises !!!!

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and enjoy this special season of giving and sharing !

santa came

Look Santa came to see us! Yes, he kept his promise and came with lots of gifts. We are very happy to see him. Santa was a very generous man and we hope to see him next year . Why does Santa comes only once a year ? Can't he visit us too whenever there's a special occassions like birthdays, valentines ? Let's say, tomorrow because i'll be turning 4 and yes, i would like to see him not because he of the gifts but I wanted to talk to him and let him see me how grown up I am, how I speak better, how I can do things on my own and how I take care of my little sister. I just hope to see him otherwise I will wait for next Christmas.
