We had a great Christmas since we took a trip back home and spent about 2 weeks in the States. It was only for visiting family (so don't be offended if you're a friend and didn't hear from us!) and visit family we did! Lots of going back and forth between Austin and Dallas and many Christmas celebrations. The kids enjoyed seeing all the cousins and getting so many presents. Ryken had his first haircut and WOW - does he look different. I definitely miss the curls - but he's still adorable!
We flew back to Shanghai leaving the States on Jan 1st - this was a great time to travel since our plane our about 1/2 full - which left us with 4 extra seats to stretch out in. The kids did great during our travels - and we got within 300 miles of the North Pole. It was dark outside but we let the kids know where we were and that Santa was sleeping after being so busy with Christmas.
Since being back in Shanghai - we've taken the kids to the Aquarium and gone ice skating. Keeping the kids awake and busy during the day helps with the jetlag transition. The girls start back at school tomorrow and I am excited to have some down time!
