Christmas!!

We had a looong Christmas break, 13 days!! We stayed in town and had Yipao over.  Ant & Wong bought a house so they had to move in.   Although it was two weeks, the time flew by.  We played a lot of video games, ate treats and had some fun activities planned.  This year, the weather was oddly warm, no white Christmas.
