The Zhao Family

Seems like it's our tradition to go caroling to several members of the branch. Abbey and FF got in the mood to bake cookies for members too.

This year we hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas at our house. We have lots of cousins and friends at our house. We have a total of 26 people at our house. It was great to have such a large party.

Before the guests arrive around noon time, the kids woke up first thing in the morning to open their presents. Cayleigh has been asking since last night to open presents, then jumped into our bed first thing in the morning to requesting to open presents but we told her to wait until her brothers are awake. She waited patiently and when the time was right, she ran downstairs to open her presents! She  and SS was quite happy opening presents while CC was still sleeping.

After opening all presents, we made sure we cleaned our house from so many messes since we have guests coming. The kids certainly didn't like it but we told them that most likely we will have a guess has never been to our house, he will walk around the entire house to look around. Around noon time Tony Chen and his parents arrived and want to look around the house. Da showed it to them around the house to all the room. Gladly we cleaned all the rooms and it looked presentable. 

While the adults chatted away upstairs, downstairs is a disaster; it became a war zone. It became a nerf gun war zone. They moved furniture, used tables, and doors, and everything they can to make blockades to hide behind them.
