Happy Chinese New Year!





Last night we celebrated Chinese New Year with friends. We really had a special time. It is fun to see Hannah as she is getting older really enjoying herself in the celebrations. She was dancing on my lap, that is until the lion dance stopped right at us and opened it's mouth. It only took a few minutes to calm her down and she was dancing again! She also ate like a champ! She ate a bowl of soup, sweet and sour chicken and a whole bowl of rice! Hannah is holding money that our friend, Peggy, gave her to put on the dragon's mouth. Noah and Abbey had fun, too. It's so wonderful that we can celebrate the new year as a family! Our friend, Lily,is in one of the pictures, too! Happy Chinese New Year!

Christmas Morning 2008




Christmas Eve 2008




Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve. We had such a special day with family and friends. Noah, Abbey and Hannah loved making and decorating the gingerbread house. We went to church and then came home for a delicious Christmas dinner. Mary, Michael, Ava & Jesse, Carla & Emerson, Tammy & Dulce were all there to celebrate with us. Ava & Hannah are blowing out the candles for the Happy Birthday Jesus cake. Noah and Abbey stayed up late with us to watch "It's A Wonderful Life".
