Catching Up...

I know everyone is anxious to see pictures from our trip. I need to play catch up first. We had a wonderful Christmasmorning (well, Christmas eve) opening presents. We decided to open gifts before heading to the airport.It worked out great! We were able to Skype with all grandparents and let them watch Kay open presents. I feel so lucky to have this technology so we don't feel so far away. It warms my heart that Kay is getting to be really good at talking on Skype. We really did not make a big deal of "santa" this year because we thought we would be out of town. I did make a Christmas casserole for breakfast that we all enjoyed eating while opening gifts. Kay must have been a good girl this year. She really got some fun stuff!

We did not have a tree this year so I decided to hang all of Kay's art projects from school. I wanted to have a special corner where we could have it feela little bit like Christmas.

A new doll that traveled with us to Borneo. I have a feeling Dora will be going other places with us as well!

Playing with play dough. Craig and I left the room and when we came back she had put on her chef hat and apron and said she was making pizza.

Kay has a Wolfpack Red Guitar to match her daddy!

Opening presents from GG and Grandma over Skype

The aftermath...

Our lifesaver in the airport!! GG got Kay her very own suitcase!! We will be traveling a lot and this was a BIG hit. She can ride on it and sit on it while we walk the halls and she is allowed to pack as many toys that it will hold!


Other Kay pictures..

I had to post this because it makes me laugh every time. Poor Kay is so thin her pants don't stay up. We were at the produce stand and her pants kept falling down. While I was picking out fruit, the lady at the stand was tucking in Kay's shirt and pulling her pants up as high as they could go. Kay walked all the way home like this- hilarious!


We crossed the border a few weekends ago for me to pick some stuff up at the tailors. I always heard how crowded China was, but it is hard to picture. Here is the crowd to cross the border. It was actually a little scary. I had to hold onto Kay and Craig to make sure we did not get separated. There were people as far as you could see. We decided we will not be crossing the border on a weekend anytime soon!
