Christmas Eve/Morning

For Christmas Eve dinner, we spent the evening with some of our neighbors that were still in town.  A tent was rented and a the kids enjoyed running free while the parents chatted.

Once we got back in and showered, the girls opened a few presents….they had opened a few earlier in the day too.

 Christmas morning, Whitney actually slept in so the BIG 3 waiting somewhat patiently up in our room before coming down.

When we got downstairs they were quick to notice that the Ameican Girl dolls were cooking at a tiny kitchen…….AND they spied the HUGE beanbags too!!!!!

 Whitney quickly lost interest in her stocking and went for the kitchen set.

 Hannah has wanted a fish in Malaysia for a long time and Santa came through for her!!!!

 It's kind of hard for a 2 year old to open presents with 1 hand, but she wouldn't put her candy down!

 So happy she got a baby that pees!

The girls were very pleased with Santa's delivery. 

 I am sure he needed to bring in supplies from the US, Singapore, Bangkok and Malaysia to get everything on their list!!!!!

Life is Good!

Christmas Fun on the Lake

Merry Christmas Eve from Malaysia!!!!

Today, we enjoyed something our family loves to do…BOATING!!!!  We rented a ski boat and driver for an hour this afternoon at Marina Putrajaya.

 This manmade lake was great for what we wanted…some time as a family doing something we enjoy. For the hour we had the boat, we were the only ones on the lake.  The lake isn't a perfect circle so I never felt like we were going around and around.

Justin went first:

 The girls wanted to try knee boarding, but the wanted Daddy to go first!

 I thought this might be the only picture I got of Macy on the board…..

 …….But she did great and really enjoyed it!!!!

 Tubing Time on the "FUN 3."

 Sad faces that our time is up!!!!

 "SAME!!!!!"…Whitney

Macy already asked if we could go back tomorrow.  I am sure we will be back soon…Maybe in March when Justin's parents come to visit.  I also think a knee board and FUN 3 will be on our shopping list this summer!!!!

Life is Good on Christmas Eve!

Fun Christmas Weekend

Friday night the 2 BIGS were in the neighborhood Christmas play.  They really enjoyed it and the moms helping to put it on did a great job organizing the event.

"Flying" off stage

 Saturday we joined in on the neighborhood caroling.

It started off rainy…similar to the night of Halloween…but ended shortly after we left home!

 Santa also showed up with gifts for the kids.

Whitney wasn't as eager to go and pick up her gift this time, so Hannah had to help her out.

 This morning, we had to try out the new scooter bags Santa gave the BIGS and the helmet Whitney got.  We went to a local mall(Publika) that shuts down the roads around it for biking and scootering every Sunday from 7-101m.

 Hannah sporting her new shoes from Grandma Carol and Papa Dave!

 Much needed water break for this little one who wanted to keep up with her BIG sisters!!!

Life is Good when you can scooter without looking for cars!!!
