Fresh January

For the first time in long time, we stayed around during this Christmas holiday.   Last year, we went to Seattle and Victoria Island in Vancouver.  This year - I decided that it was best to stay around, take advantage of the slow down at work and catch up as much as I could before the new year begin.  We did everything from cutie cutie being back again  (and i loved how they all still believe, although Adam is really trying to), lots of hot chocolate (snoopy advent calendar), christmas lights at the arboretum, christmas lights on Valmont, all presents were opened and Santa's gifts were delivered.  It was really hard to plan out so many gifts and I am pretty happy with the gifts given out this year.   Our tree this year is a Chrismouse Tree, I suddenly had a obsession with the Christmas mouseys and they are so cute.  




Lately, Adam finally started to read Harry Potter again and it was all because I brought a book and read a few lines outloud.  He just finished the 4th book. 
Alice just finished her 2nd Kelly Yang book and loving it.  I think it has to do with how much Adam is also reading. 
Amber is doing very well at school and ballet, got invited to Daniella's playdate at her beachhouse which was so nice to go to during break. She is also asking a lot of questions lately like - did you know you are going to have 4 kids? How come the moon is full tonight? Their questions are definitely getting harder and harder to answer.
Ashley is talking so much.  Her favorite phrase is "I dont like it".  Also, whenever she sees me eating, she says "i want to try it". She is so adorable, its ridiculous.  She is so cute and silly.  She makes all of us laugh.  

Tomorrow Adam is going to Disneyland with his class.  Excited for the weekend to come because it's just another time for us to catch up with all the things piled up.
