The Zhao Family

2012 Christmas day family gathering

What fun would Christmas be without family to be around you. This year was especially more fun to invite more family members over. We had an absolute blast. The kids had an incredible amount of fun as well as the adult.

We started the morning with the kids opening just the presents we bought for them. They are not allowed to open any other presents.

Abbey Facetime with her parents in Hong Kong to show what the kids got for Christmas.

Then the party started in the afternoon when family and cousins come over to enjoy the Spirit of Christmas with us as well as the kids enjoying each others' company.

While the kids are downstairs enjoying video games and air hockey, the adults are upstairs playing Taboo. What more can you ask for???

2012-12 Clayton's violin recital

Clayton has been learning violin since the end of July. After five months of hard work, he had his first recital last Saturday.

The boys made a new friend right the way, Aaron, an older student of Ms. Leslie let the boys watched him played on his iTouch.

Ms. Leslie helped Clayton to get his violin tuned before his performance.

Did we tell you Clayton is the only boy in his group violin class.The girls love him as you can tell from the pictures. We hope there will be some boys joining soon.
