Warning! I've been extremely lazy and haven't blogged in awhile, so I'm just going to dump a lot of pictures here for you to view...AND NOT DESCRIBE THEM!!! Hahahaha! Feel free to comment below and suggest labels :)
Hopefully this will inspire me to update this post and add some comments at a later date :)
I will comment here, though. Poor Maya got sick Christmas Eve night/Christmas Day morning and was up until 3am :( So you see very few smiles from her on Christmas morning. Poor girl.
It's hard to see, but Santa ate most of his biscotti and chocolate marshmallow cookies. A busy man needs to stop and eat, too :)
My first attempt at real strawberry shortcakes. Maya loves the doll, so I thought I'd show her what a REAL shortcake was.
Our front door decorated for Christmas.
Maya thought up and made all of these herself, including the kung-fu Santa! So cute! (the other two are a reindeer and an Xmas tree)
My only contribution was the Santa face made from the shape of my hand. Next are Maya's Christmas tree and blue snowman.
The snowman has a back story. Originally, he had nothing on top of his head. When Maya showed him to me this way, I said, "Don't you think his head will be cold?" thinking he was missing a black hat. She came back a few minutes later with his newly added HAIR! I did my best to stifle my laughter and praise her :)
Another snowman, this time brown, and a candy cane.
I printed this out for the girls to color. I had no idea Maya was already so good at staying in the lines. And I like the colors she chose. Oh, and at the bottom left that reads, "Hape Crmis". She sounded it out herself :)
All of our friends traced their hands and signed their names to them. Then we cut them out and stuck them on our door to form a friendship Christmas tree. The star was drawn by Maya and cut out by Mom. I really don't want to take this one down!
This tree got some presents under it.
Maya surprised me one day and drew this. It's the Earth with the sun on one side and the moon on the other. Notice where the sun is shining, it's light on the Earth, and on the other side it's dark??? And all the stars out in the galaxy. I LOVE this drawing!!!
Hanna made the green one :) You'll have to ask her what it is.
Hanna made this one, too. She pointed to it and said, "Doggie." Wow! Not bad for just 2 years old, eh?
Chinese New Year is January 23rd this year. Here we are making Chuen Lian at our house to ward off the Year Beast.
