Tonight Chinese church has the Christmas program. We sang two songs. This year both Didi and I got on the stage. We performed very well. In fact, Didi did great even though it is his first time and he is the youngest one. It seems that people enjoyed it very much ,too.
Hurray for us!!!
We will go to visit Yeye and Nainai. It will be a long drive. We are expected to behave good. We will try. haha...
As I observed, Dad and Mom did buy us a looot of food, fruits and drinks. Certainly, they also packed a lot of books, DVDs,too.
ok, We wish you'all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

Sunday, we had a baby dedication for my brother. Even though he is not a baby anymore, my parents still wanted to do it before he grows up too much. haha.. He was dressed up as a gentleman. He couldn't wear the dress from my Dad's grandfather's when he was dedicated. But luckily, I got to wear it, which is more than 100 years old. haha..

These two weeks, it has been pretty cold. Till today, we saw the beautiful snow--a very thin layer on the ground.This morning, we did as quick as we could to go out to have some pictures and have a symbolized snowfight before it was melted. haha...We are looking forward to have some real haevy snow like at Laolao and Laoye's home.

Thursday we went to the Parenting Cottage monthly meeting with Mom. This month their topic is about nutrition. While Mom were listening to the lecture about nutrition for kids, we were helped to make a platemat and a chef hat.
Mom was encouraged by the lecture and decided to improve the food quality of our family ---to ballance our nutrition with right amount of meet, vegetables,fruit and so on. we will see. Certainly, parents should be a good example.
We did practice our cooking skill on Friday. I enjoyed using the food cutter and the coloring. The food did tast better when you cook yourself. haha..

Didi is funny. Most time he is very brave, but these days, sometime he becomes timid or he often scares himself. For example, he will say "lang lai le, jiuming a!" (The wolf is coming, Resecue!) Or " Eyu lai le ,chi ni la !" ( The corocodile is coming to eat you!) Even while he is playing, he will say that and run to Mom. Oh, one more thing, Didi could distinguish "I" or "you" right now. That is really impressed to my parents. They said it took me a long time to figure out that.
" You are my Mommy, I love you. Don't sad look at me. I go downstair. I quiet and lay down. You is my Mommy." haha. this is what I wrote to my Mom this afternoon. Ok, let me tell you the whole story. Today she took us to the park. We played there a lot. When it was our naptime, we came back. She just expected us to take a nap as usual. But we were too excited and plus the fall time changed, we just didn't want to sleep. She became very upset. For a while, she tried to leave us alone and she hid herself in her room. So I wrote down this poem on the stairs in my special writing style. Later, I showed my Mom and told her what I wrote. Then she copied down what I read to her. After she read and listened what I wrote, her anger was gone.

In the morning we went to a farm where there was corn maze. The wheather is great. We four really enjoyed waling in the maize ( certainly there were occasions when you took wrong way. It was frustrated.) We chose two sets of questions. one is Biblical questions, and another one is kiddo questions. haha.. Didi and I walked most part of the maze. And we really enjoyed looking for the numbers and answering the questions, then choosing the direction. It took us one and half hour to go through the maze.
We did take the cow train. It was fun. But Didi kept sing the song from the DVD "the wheel on the bus". He also kept doing bumping while we took the ride.
We did go to see the animals, but it was disappointed. There were no cows, which were Didi want to see. In fact, before we went, he also mentioned that he wanted to see crocodile. I think he confuses farm with zoo. haha..
On the way back we took a good nap. This is a good preparation for us to go trick or treating in the mall in the evening. We liked walking around to get candies. Once Didi got some, he just started eating. I wanted to get more. Later I was really tired. I also wanted to stand on the stroller with Did, but unluckily, I dumped my candy box, so all my candies fell on the floor. Immeditately several girls came to pick up the candies. I was really scared that they would take them away. But they didn't. Instead, they kindly put the candies into my box. This really calmed me down a lot. Or all people in the mall would hear my crying.
On the way back home, we got treat from Daddy,too. He took us to the Crispy Cream. So we got a dozen doughnuts plus free samples. haha...
Once we got home, we cut on the light at the front door, showing that we had treat. This year, we did have a lot of kids. I enjoyed giving them the treat. I wanted to be nice to them because we were treated nicely in the mall. But some bigger kids saw me ( a little girl ) who was giving the treat, they would not come and turned around and left. That is pitty.
PS. I really don't like the spooky decoration or the costume. I think my ladybug and Didi's black cat are good enough.

After two weeks "rest", today I started my BSF and Awana which are two programs I like most.
It is so fun to stay in China for the two months, but it is also a too long trip. We had to change so many flights and waited so many hours at the airport. Untill we were walking out the airport of Lubbock did I realize that we were in America. I was very sure that I was on the American Land and I was very excited to see the American Flag and the Texas Flag when we drove home.

While we were in China from July 28th till Oct.6, 2009, we went numerous places and met numberous people. It is a real fun time for us to explore and adapt to the life there.
Didi made a great improvement for his language. He could see most of words in Chinese and sometimes, he could see a "long" sentence. It is scaring. Certainly, with his language development, we could have better communication with him and he could give more direct and clearer demands,too. haha...

It is always fun to celebrate birthday. So do I. In fact, I got my presents from Yeye and Nainai on Thursday, so I agreed to wait till my birthday to open it. These five days seemed very long.
In fact, I got a surprise celebration at Saturday night. Our neibours, Ma and Pa, and Auntie Gosia and Uncle Kaz gave me (include my family) a big surprise. They came and brought the very nice cake and a lot of gifts, so my parents decided to celebrate just a day ahead of my birthday. Didi had fun,too. He also got something from yeye and nainai.
Today, Mom let me choose the new clothes this morning, later she also took us to Mardel --- a Christian book store. After Hugh's Doctor Appointment, we went to an Ice-cream shop, which is the first time I went to an Ice-cream shop and where today I got a free rainbow icecream. Tonight,we also played in the new pool Dad got for my birthday. It is fun, fun....

This year I got some sunflower seeds from the Storytimein the Library. Mom planted them and they did grow good. See we're comparing who will grow faster. Certainly, I would like to water them every day every time by myself. But, no, most time, Mom did. and Didi helped in a unappreciate way.
