19 years

Hurry up Christmas! We are ready for a break from school :) but if you have to do school then it's gotta be with a dog and a blanket.
Hudson finally got his ears cleaned out at the ENT!! He has a hard time hearing sometimes and it's because of all the earwax. He makes solid earwax instead of sticky earwax. 
Well, Lauren has been taking dance in the States, but because of Covid parents were not allowed to watch. I love watching my kids do what they enjoy. and I've been curious as to how the classes are different from what she has always done. So, for Christmas they had a parent observation day. We were allowed to watch the modern dance and the ballet, but could not watch jazz (because the room was too small) It was great to see all that she has learned.


Lauren is the one flying through the air. 


Lauren's teacher, Lisa
Lauren's best friend, Hadassah, waited for her after class to deliver a Christmas gift.  I was waiting in the car. Lauren wasn't sure if she was supposed to open it or not, but realized that she should open it (in China they don't open a gift in front of others unless told to)
She loved it, especially the L ornament that she didn't see until later.
Hadassah also gave our family a box of assorted chocolates. I didn't realize that the kids had not see this before. So we learned all about guessing which one you wanted to try :)
Oh, the faces! Harder than she thought...she kept hoping for a caramel!
Anticipation
I think it will be good
It's not caramel!!! :) hahaha!
They were full, but wanted to try each one right then! So we ended up with a box of half eaten chocolate.
We celebrated 19 years :) We droppped the kids off with Auntie Em and headed to Pigeon Forge for the day. I wanted to go to the Christmas Place. We aloways get a selfie by a Christmas tree if we can find one. So, this huge angel tree was the first we saw.
Once inside, we found another tree! :)
WE found this cup while shopping. Jonathan thought that he should get this ;)
King Kong behind us

So this picture is from our dinner. It was delicious! So much so that I didn't take a single picture, but took a picture just before we left of the artwork on the wall. haha! Oh well. I enjoy some good artwork.
The rest of these are from Auntie Em and their adventures while the parents are away ;)
