Dec. 25, 2007 - Christmas

Christmas was good to us again this year. The kids were more excited than they ever had been in the past. We had the missionaries over for dinner, and Xander couldn't wait for them to leave, so he could go to bed, meaning Santa would come even sooner. They left milk and cookies out for Santa, and went to bed. After Xander finally went to sleep (way too excited to sleep) Khai and I both started getting sick.

After a rough night we had a great Christmas morning. Santa left a lot of toys for all of us, and we had a great time. Christmas dining was white rice and leftovers, as Khai and I still were not up to real food. Despite a few challenges, we had a great Christmas.

照例呢， 聖誕老公公會在聖誕夜送禮物給小朋友，所以在這天晚上我們都有好藉口叫小朋友早點去睡覺，不然老公公就不送禮物了. 上床之前小朋友會留餅乾及牛奶給聖誕老公公吃，這樣他送完禮物後如果還肚子餓就可以吃了．看小朋友們多們期待聖誕老公公趕快來呀．

We finally had a snow day. Church was cancelled, and school was cancelled the next day too. We had fun playing in the snow and drinking hot cocoa though.

Today Khai got to go with his class to the gymnastics center. They got to stretch, jump on the trampoline, play with hoops, and generally have a lot of fun. Khai really enjoyed it.

Today was Grandparents Day at Khai's School, since he doesn't have any grandparents that live close, He asked me if I would join him as his special guest. We made a potato turkey, and Indian headband, and ate lunch together. We all had a lot of fun.

Oct. 31, 2007 - Halloween

Halloween with kids is the best. Xander was a fireman with an axe, and Khai was Buzz Lightyear. We had Halloween parties at Xander’s school, Khai’s school, Chinese school, and at church. Then on Halloween night, we walked around the block. When we got done, Pei-I and the kids handed out candy. As usual, they got way too much candy, but we had a blast.
