decorating for Christmas

 we really enjoyed the long weekend.... Friday evening we decorated the house for Christmas and we all thinks its just beautiful!

 Pretty sure these beads wont be used for decorating this year... :o)

 We bought the boys a tiny tree to keep in their bedroom and put their ornaments on.

Thanksgiving in R1D

 Being the "american" parents in the class, Christine and I volunteered to do the Thanksgiving party for Jack and Josiahs class. It was super fun! We did a presentation with the first Thanksgiving story, games, songs and then a semi-traditional feast for the kids. Of course, Jack was the one who didn't want to try any of the food :o)

Don't you love the head bands :o)

 Love them!

 The little tag-alongs :o)

 At this point Jack had total meltdown and is not even in the photo :o)

Grandma and Bumpa here Part 1

Bryan was gone last week... in Indonesia with a school trip. But, we were entertained because my parents came to see us. here are a few pictures from the week.

Our visit to KL

Bryan had to attend a conference in Kuala Lumpur last weekend and the kids and I decided to tag along. Our friends who live in Cambodia also went, so it was a great time to catch up with dear friends. We had a great time just hanging out at the hotel, seeing our friends and eating great food. Bryan was pretty busy, but it was relaxing for the rest of us.
