Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Ender's Optimus Prime nerf blaster. Converts from truck to blaster and blast away!
Have you ever seen so much pink? Maya in her princess/fairy land loving on her paints.
Ender looking handsome as always. He's got a wonderful smile.
Ender and his friend Danny (Moo-Oak) teeter tott'n it with some Korean man.
Looks like Santa came! Ender shouted with glee at 2:30 in the a.m. Beat that.
Christmas morning came with some fun surprises. The kids were so much fun to watch as they opened up their gifts.
Ender got some pretty cool books that convert into a castle and a pirate ship. There are stories that play along with them and you can act out the scenes with little guys.

Take a moment and look at what the pig is eating. Hint: what goes in must come up and out
Here's Maya reaching out to smack the pig with the end of her sucker stick of course. Which end does she lick? You take a guess.
The kids playing on a teeter totter.
Our fair isle Korean chickie.
Kimchi.


Keroro
Who's the super tall, skinny Santa? Jared was Santa for our kid's school. He handed out books and took photos with every God forsaken Korean kid there!!!
Ender and Santa -slash I know what you did for me last Christmas!
Maya and a foam bear. Gee...it almost looks like ice or something?
Ender- love the shot, love the smile, love the coat, love it.




Kids enjoying a bubble bath. Each bubble was hand blown to perfection and shipped in from America.
Maya is in love with this dress. She dresses herself daily in it. Father does too.
This is the coolest gate in our neighborhood. We've tried on several occasions to tear the darn thing down but some Korean women keeps yelling at us.
Thank you Angela!! YeeeHa!





Christmas painting projects.



Oh my goodness! It's a hand made asian bag probably made in china in some crazy sweat shop that we are just thrilled about!
Disclaimer: If you were offended by any of these above comments, Jared made those comments with bad words and poor taste...and he wanted to put more but mommmy wouldn't let me and when daddy gets back from the war, I'm going to set my self free! Ooops.
