We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

It was another great Christmas filled with family, friends, food, more firsts and lots of gifts!  As I mentioned before, we did not decorate our house this year because of the bathroom renovation and the only evidence of Christmas was Frosty the Snowman.  Abby warmed up to the singing Snowman after a while of just staring at him.  :)

We got to spend Christmas Eve at the Tong's house this year.  We spent many childhood Christmas' with the Tong's so it was an extra special treat for Abby to share in this family tradition.  Even though we didn't have a tree up in our house, she still got the tree experience at the Tong's (and at Grandma & Grandpa's).  This tree had a choo-choo train going around the middle which was a huge hit for the kids!  Even I was enamored (but then again, I'm easily amused).  Xiao Xiao got a HUGE puppy dog doll for Christmas!

We spent Christmas day at Lao Nian and Lao Yie's and Abby had so much fun!  We had a delicious early dinner (the stir fried rice was my favorite - can't have Christmas dinner without rice!).  I don't think Zeus quite knows what to make of Abby yet.  :) 

Abby opened her first gift from Aunt Janice!!  :)  Woohoo!  Thank you Aunt Janice!  By the end, Abby got really good at unwrapping gifts and taking out tissue paper. 

We spent the day after Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's where the fun only continued!  Abby met Heidi the Goat!!  She is a long standing gag gift between the Wendler's but I would have loved to receive Heidi as a gift!  She is the yodeling goat from The Sound of Music - only the best movie and musical (second to Les Mis) ever!!  By now, Abby was an expert gift opener.  :)  She was very thankful for all of her gifts this year!
