Priceless...

I have so much to catch you up on... like our trip to Texas... our visitor from Texas... growth charts... and more... but I could not let another day pass us by without showing you what I found in bed with Asher on morning... priceless... love my boys... I am so blessed to be their mom...

 

 

 

Christmas morning... in Ulsan!

Christmas morning was a bit rushed... bc we had a lot to do before our flight to Texas that afternoon... so we decided to let the kids open their presents on Christmas Eve... which is a huge no no when I was growing up... but I did not travel half way around the world on Christmas either... so I guess it will be ok.  Here are the boys opening their presents...

 

 

A present from GM and GP... he was so happy to get this... 

His first nerf gun... can not believe we made it all the way till  6 years of age until the inevitable...

Pierce picked out the present for Asher... dinosaur hand puppets... 

And the boys got some really cool books from Blake's Aunt Linda and Uncle Lyle.

 

There was definitely a book theme this year... Pierce was so happy.

 

And we did actually wait until the next morning for the stockings... of course... 

 

Ladies Christmas Night...

During the Christmas break there were only a few of us ladies left here in Ulsan... so we had a small get together... which turned out to be a great night of laughter... I just love making memories with new friends...

Just like the Christmas party in Singapore... we had to bring back the fake fireplace... 

And here's the tree again.. he he he

Remembering Texas...

 

One of my favorite things about Christmas... are the cards...  I love seeing the faces of our people and their families (even if it has been years)... and we keep them so I bring out the pile every year and love to compare them from year to year... to watch people have their first child, see people get married, graduate, become a grandparent, get a dog, etc... love it all.

 

December Misc...

Just some random pics from December... that definitely need to be on the blog...

Sometimes you just got to go with the flow... this boy is so patient... this is how I found him after we dropped Pierce off at school... he is asleep in this picture... a little spit up, hat falls in front of face... what best to do... go to sleep.

Pierce got a little nutcracker from JuJu and KW... he loves it.

Sometimes your head is so big a hat just does not fit... but your still cute...

Have I mentioned... I had a tree this year... loved it.

 

Just some shots of the condo... some holiday cheer...

 

 

 

 

Bible study on occasion turns into lunch... yummy... duck and pumpkin....

 

Thanks Jennifer for the cute monkey attached to the pacie... 

ViVi and Grandad sent us this really neat advent calendar... each day there is a craft/story/illustration/activity and a prayer... loved it... a keeper for sure.

And thanks to Nana... Pierce got to do his advent calendar on the computer again this year... he loves this advent calendar and every year they get better and better...

Man it was cold in Dec.... all bundled up and ready to go to school.

I had drinks one morning at SB with a friend and I forgot the pacifier for Asher... so I used the next best thing.. and he totally fell a sleep... sweet baby.

100% Baby... made in Singapore...

Amen... C.S. Lewis said it so well...

A great gift for sure... 

 

Ulsan Museum

We finally found the Children's museum in Ulsan and we accidentally stumbled upon it... it was an unexpected adventure for the day but a good one.
 

Daddy and Pierce had fun building the temple walls... 

And there was one happy baby checking it all out.

 

Interesting art on the wall... wish we knew what they were saying.

 

 

Thanks Dad for letting us make an unexpected detour to the museum... a small one but it was nice.
