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???

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.

Clayton did a wonderful job at his first recital. So very proud of him. He is performing Mississippi Hotdog version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars.

We are all very proud of Clayton!! Great job and keep up your good work!
Clayton's FAVORITE TEACHER OF THE YEAR, Ms. Leslie Smile.

Brennan and Clayton were so excited to go to November Pack Meeting. Brennan won the 3rd place at the Space Derby last month. He was so happy to receive his medal on the stage.


Clayton on the other hand, just started his cub scout journey. He received his first badge: Bobcat badge at the pack meeting. Mama got the chance to go to the front and received the badge with him. They promised to do their best. Clayton was very proud to receive the first badge and is working hard for his Tiger badge.

Clayton's den's "Go See", we went to visit the vet last week. The older siblings joined and everybody had fun and learned a lot.

They even got to listen the doggie's heart beat.




The vet showed them how bad the kitties' and doggies' teeth were before surgeries.


Since Cayleigh is not in boy scout, here is a picture of her in case you miss her =) Mama did not want to get another big stuffed animal home, so Cayleigh got to take a picture with her giraffe before they leave Costco.
