Christmas Card 2017

 



December Fun

Max with his team at his football banquet.



Clark has missed Zane!

Clark lost his first tooth!

December 15, 2017

 Daisy lost another tooth the same day as Clark did.

 

Hanna dislocated her finger at school.

It looked pretty funky.



Dad told her how to pop it back into place and she did it.

After she popped it back in, she said oh that feels much better.

Jane loves being part of the big kids in my preschool.

Loved how our Christmas Card Tree turned out!

At first I didn't think it would fill up.

Made these cute Christmas Trees in preschool.

After the kids finished decorating them, I said they could eat them if they want to

and Jane dove right in. 

Clark made his very own Ginger Bread House at school.

 

Went to see the lights at the speedway.

Fort Wars, Youngest 3 (Daisy, Walt & Clark)

Against the Oldest 3 (Max, Hanna & Van)

The competition was fierce!



Jane gets dizzy at the park.



Santa's Lap

 

  Well I got 5 out of 7 kids on Santa’s lap tonight at our ward Christmas dinner. Clark asked for a Jeep. Jane at first told me “no, he’s scary”, but after all the kids sat on Santa’s lap she did it! I couldn’t get her to smile about it, but at least she did it on her own, without any tears this year ☺️. Van begged to sit on his lap so he could ask for a Lamborghini, a house and a jacuzzi 🤣. We made Walt sit on his lap, but it looks like he was extremely happy that we did!

 No smile, but at least she isn't crying.

Asian Sisters

 Last night I enjoyed getting together with my new Asian Sisters! I am going with 2 of my old mission companions to China next year and really need to practice my Chinese! Thanks to my friend Annie for inviting me to join her Asian Sisters Group! I was too embarrassed to speak much Chinese my first night and unfortunately didn’t understand as much as I hoped, but I’m hoping my Chinese will improve before my trip next November. 
We are going to be on an English guided tour, but still 😜.

Some of you know, while on my mission I actually lost 30 lbs because I was so dang picky. By the end of my mission I was eating beef noodle soup and a bing (Chinese snow-cones) every night for dinner. I learned how to eat some of the food and actually liked a few things before I left. I’ve grown a ton when it comes to trying new foods since my mission. My husband and I️ mostly eat Thai and Japanese food. Chinese still isn’t my favorite, but it was very good and I had a wonderful time with these awesome sisters! I found it funny that a few of them still wanted a picture with me because of how tall I am.

 These two are actually very tall for being Taiwanese.

 Here are some foods I like...

Here are some foods I still won't even try...

 I look like a giant!

The funny thing is I don't feel like I'm this tall.

I ate these of course.
