Getting ready for Christmas.

Debora and the kids have put up some Christmas decorations around the house and Ivy has also got ready for the holiday. We are just now getting our first good snowfall for this winter. Our friend Sharon had her birthday last week with the ladies making dumplings for her party. We are in the process of looking for the next place we will live. This time Debora and I both hope to sign contracts in a more southern part of China.

We were cleaning under the TV and DJ thought it was a good place to take a photo.

Say ah.

Monkey see.

Monkey do.

That is Ivy's new emergency fire exit that is completely blocked behind the tree.

It's the happy dumpling gang. 

 

With every birthday cake, there comes a birthday hat.
