Christmas Eve

We enjoyed our Christmas Eve service at our church again this year.  Hoyer was a donkey in the nativity play and afterwards enjoyed singing carols and {eating} his Cristingle....

Christmas Cookies with Friends

All for one and one for all! This little pack is best friends! 

Hiking on Christmas Eve

Out in the City at Christmas

 We visited the LEgo decorations in Times Square-lots of houses and cool things made out of legos-Christmas themed of course~ 

We rode on the tram-front and center!

Lessons and Carols at St. Johns

and Watching the buildings light up with Christmas Messages!

Young Love

These two are too much. They plan to marry when they are older..Hoyer says when he is 50 and Ellie says when she is 7...

This is how they watched the nativity in the plaza on Sunday. They play so sweetly together and really do think they are a couple!

{last} Weekend Recap

We had an awesome weekend-temps were high and skies were clear. Kyle and I celebrated our {belated} anniversary at the Four Seasons-{amazing} and with the rest of the weekend we went hiking and enjoyed the little island of Peng Chau-where coke is still served in bottles and everything is cheap. 

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever...

 Hoyer was an elf in his school Christmas performance this year-he was looking pretty darn cute!

 Mary and Joseph-how funny!

 A special appearance by Santa-(Kyle!)

 Charlie dressed like Santa too! 

Open the night before Christmas

It has always been a family tradition in our house to have a gift {always PJS} to open the night before Christmas. Since these two are growing so fast and the package from GG arrived while both were wide awake and trilled that the mailman 'came for a visit'-we let them have theirs a little early this year! 

Matching Christmas PJs are a must! How stinking cute are these brothers? Thanks GG!

Charlie Boy

This little monkey is pulling up, crawling and has two teeth. He is growing before our eyes and I wish I could stop time and eat him up.  LOVE!

Farewell Tram Party

Saying goodbye is not fun-but that's the life of an ex-pat. One thing is for sure-we have these farewell parties down to a science! What fun we had last Saturday night on the town in a private tram cruising through Hong Kong! 

Bye Mollee and Joe! See you Stateside!

Hello to Hong Kong! 

 Goodbye to friends. 

We met Mollee and Joe on our first day in Discovery Bay and we became fast friends.  

Sad to see them leave, but thrilled for their next adventure and look forward to keeping in touch! 

The Girls!

You better watch out!

I could not have asked for a better picture this year! Thanks boys! 

 We saw 'snow' Saturday in IFC mall!

 Oh what fun! 

 Hoyer and Charlie get prepped for sitting with Santa!

 "You've been a good boy!" Hoyer asked for a blue race car and Thomas the Tank things. 

The entire family sits with Santa! 

Let Go

Those words are the words we were waiting to hear last weekend and we did!!





Not even 4 years old and riding his bike without training wheels!!

Oh Christmas Tree

Oh Christmas tree from the grocery...

How lovely are your branches...

Peace...from Hoyer.

and we are decking the halls of Greenwood Court!

Sick Little Monkey

 This little monkey has a double ear infection. Poor little guy. He's still cute though.
