Merry Christmas!

Finally, I'm getting around to posting about Christmas! When the kids came downstairs on Christmas morning, they saw that the tree was piled with gifts and Kate found one with her name on it even without reading!

She couldn't be bothered by anything else under the tree or in her pile of gifts on the couch later. She just wanted to play with that stroller!

Keanu loved opening all of his.

By noon, we were ready to go on our next adventure - the Lakeshore Hotel in Hsin Chu. Kevin had made reservations to spend the night there and we had a great time.

First of all, there's heat in the hotel rooms.

Second, there was a pool with a fabulously warm kid's pool.

Third, the kids had a great time with their new toys. This is what they looked like everywhere we went:

Hope you all had a great Christmas, too!

Happy birthday, Kevin

Much like I was surprised about Kate's lunar birthday the week before, I think Kevin's mom was surprised when I brought out a cake for his birthday. Keanu picked it out because it had a bunch of strawberries on it. Then he was happy that Ah-ma had bought some strawberries earlier in the day, too.

Look what the post man delivered!

Ok, so he just brought be box. The original contents were placed under the Christmas tree and replaced by a busy toddler.

Happy Birthday, Kate, part 2

One day in the week leading up to Christmas, Keanu and I stopped at the department store after school to do some last minute shopping. We got home kind of late, but rather than heading straight to bed, we had to have some birthday cake first. Little did I know that I'd choosen Kate's Lunar birthday to go shopping with her brother instead of spend the evening with her! She was evidently quite happy about the event anyway, wasn't she?

Hiatus is finished...

OK, so it's been a while since I've posted anything here. We got busy with Christmas, New Year's, and life. I've got a lot of catching up to do. We'll see how it goes!
