Christmas Cookies!

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

Last week my two sons had their Christmas piano recital. I couldn’t go because I had to be the parent in charge at the ping pong club that Ahn still belongs to though he couldn’t go…

Anyway, they brought these cookies home with them, and I thought they were really cute and interesting.

Sorry I didn’t have time to do this any better, but I know some students had a problem getting the file I emailed.

Here’s the photo I took of the memo. I hope that helps!

 

2012 Christmas Tree and House lights

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

Yeah! It’s that time of year again.

We usually put up our Christmas decorations – the tree, in house things like some candles and pictures, and the outside lights, the weekend after Thanksgiving. Because we had a crazy week that week, we had to wait another week to do the outside lights.

Then, when we started putting up the tree inside, we found out that most of our lights had died, and it was too late at night to go buy replacements!!

So, the tree stood at the top of the stairs looking a bit forlorn with boxes of decorations scattered about but nothing on the tree.

We finally got some lights, spent some time arranging things to get at least one good string that worked, and finally put up the rest of the decorations.

I think it turned out pretty well, and we had fun finishing it up.

Oh, we always do this as a family. This also was part of why it took so long to put everything up since we are all so busy it isn’t easy to have time together for doing it.

Here are some pictures of the tree and outside, plus a short video of the outside lights so you can see what that looks like while it’s blinking.
