Christmas 2012

We were so pleased to have our family all together for Christmas this year. The Hwangs came from California and Jeff drove down from Indianapolis. Having a five-year-old and a two-year-old sure livened up this house ... and it was extra nice to feel their excitement for Christmas! Here are some of our activities during their days with us.

Fei and Uncle Jeff.

 Fei Fei wearing the apron that Jodi had as a
little girl ... so that makes it 30-something-years old!

Fei didn't want to miss out on anything and decided she
wanted to try fishing, too.

A disappointed Kai didn't even get a bite ...

... so, he and Uncle Jeff played Angry Birds Star Wars on the tablet.

After Christmas Eve service at church, Jodi and Jeff
indulged their mother and posed for the traditional
brother/sister photo in front of the tree.

Kai is writing his note to leave for Santa on Christmas Eve.

Fei pours sprinkles on her Christmas cut-out cookie.

Kai shows off his cookie masterpiece.

An evening of successful Christmas cookie decorating!
(As Fei would say, "Hooray!") 

'Twas the night before Christmas ....

The only thing Fei asked for was "a penguin to sleep with, cuddle
with and hold." 

Kai was jumping up and down so much it was hard to get all of him
in the photo. Anyway, it shows just how excited he was on Christmas morning!

What a sweet smile on a cute face! 

A kiss for Fei from Uncle Jeff before his long drive back to Indiana on Christmas morning.
