Today is a very important day to me.  Is it not only because of Christmas, but also it is because on the 25th of Dec. 8 years ago, I gave birth to my first child.   How can I forget the splendid day to my husband and me?   Mana, my daughter became 8 years old today.  I’m really grateful to God and everyone around me.

I’m writing this blog while listening Christmas songs through http://www.1faithfm.com/index.php, an Amerian web site.   I feel very happy and comfortable now.

My husband and I gave her a birthday present this morning.   I chose it.  It is a painting by a british woman artist.  She painted a girl who was practicing a ballet.  The girl is really pretty and taking an arabesque pose.  My daughter has been taking ballet lessons for about 4 years and she loves ballet.   Now the painting is on her desk. 

My family is going to have dinner at an Italian restaurant tonight.
