Look, someone changed the countdown....
Someone ate the cookies we left (well, most of them)...
Look at all the stuff! The stockings are full, and there is other things too!
Hallie got an mp3 player!
Eryn received some stickers in her stocking...
Yeah, I know, he will probably shoot his eye out...
Liam got several Transformers, Jon is trying to figure one out.
Jon cooked us a big brunch with Christmas shaped biscuits!
Then we talked to Jon's family on Skype.
Eryn is all dressed up to go eat.
We had planned to go eat dinner at a nearby Western buffet. We dressed up and bundled up and set out to walk there.
We also brought a bag of apples
Apples are a symbolic gift for Christmas in China.
The kids handed out apples to the guard at the gate and several of the workers that sweep the streets. It was fun to see the kids give them an apple and wish them a Merry Christmas (in Chinese). I was not able to get any good pictures of it.
When we got to the buffet, we found out that they added an extra 100 yuan to the price because it was Christmas day. We thought that was way too much, so we walked back home, ordered pizza, and watched The Muppets Christmas Carol. We promised the kids we would go back in a few days when the price was normal.
It was a good day, but a long one! We had a great time, and were exhausted!
Merry Christmas! Sheng dun kuai le!!
