Our winter holiday at home is coming to an end. Sadly, as we sit here, we are only 2 days from flying out, back to Beijing. It has been another busy, busy, busy holiday season. My favorite part has been seeing and visiting with friends and family, though the time has not been long enough, I feel happy to have seen so many people in such a short time.
The last few days we have spent on the westside, in a crazy mix of birthday celebrations and family/friend time.
Post from Lucas:
"My favorite part was Christmas because I was thankful for all of my presents. I got 3 Nascars and more than you can count banana juices. It was a great Christmas and I even got what I really wanted, some kind of motorcycle and how to make one. I got a grabber, like something that grabs stuff, and it can pinch people and they can be stuck and it can be funny! I got big castle Lego set and it was from my favorite Lego man in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD [Uncle Pauly]. And for my birthday I got a little castle set from my Greatest Lego Man in the whole wide world, which was the same person I already said. I got a monster truck for my birthday and for my birthday I got a big stuffed Ninja Turtle. It was my favorite Ninja Turtle, Leonardo. He is my favorite Ninja Turtle. I got a 3-wheeler Ninja turtle and it had a Leonardo. It was COOL! And I got a 3 double Lego set. It was a helicopter and a car, but I don't remember the other one. But they were COOL!"
We are off now to have lunch with a good friend before making the trip back across the pass to my parents house.
