Hope everyone had a memorable Christmas! We’re spending the holidays quietly at home this year, since my due date is only about a month away now.
Christmas Eve among the “stars”
Mio on Christmas morning – the excitement is palpable.
This was Mio’s third Christmas.
Unwrapping presents.
Look at that smile!
Mio received the most gifts! She seemed kind of overwhelmed after a while.
Her favorite was an educational Anpanman toy from my parents. Once she opened it, she had no eyes for anything else!
Mio with a bug eye viewer from Tarrin and Jason. Thank you to all of our friends who sent gifts for Mio all the way from California — especially Tarrin & Jason, the Pou family, and Aileen!
Christmas Day also happens to be my birthday, and this year I turned 31! We had a delicious dinner with the family (on Christmas Eve we had ham, but Christmas we had Peking duck for dinner — my favorite!), with cake afterwards. Here is Mio helping me blow out my birthday candles! (This is her favorite part of birthdays… she gets pretty upset if you don’t let her participate in blowing them out.)
Thankful to grow another year older with a wonderful husband and this precious girl!
