Christmas fun

It is boxing day and everyone is enjoying their Chrissie pressies..time for a quick update. On Friday Dylan and Maya made cookies for school and Santa Claus. Maya was really into the "dough". I also made the Christmas cake earlier on in the week...we cut into it finally on Friday:))






Naughty Christmas elves.



Santa came:))

Pressie time.....

They both get these "bad smell under the nose" looks on their faces when tearing the wrapping paper:))



Bath toys for these two fish...they love bath time so much and would probably bath ten times a day if I let them....



Santa found some really nice wooden toys at the north pole...Dylan loves fishing games so this set was perfect for him and Maya got a doll house..it is kind of based on old paper dolls. The dolls are magnetic and the clothes attach to them....happy munchkins!!





And of course the Sponge bob pirate ship:))

Hmm...what next

This is what Maya asked Santa for in no uncertain terms....and lucky she was a good girl cos she got it



Going shopping...

And the little artist hard at work..

Dylan as air traffic controller.

Morning coffee...spontaneous kisses as mommy tries a self portrait:)



We went to the park afterward and it was empty!!! Yay!!! Both kids love the swings. Not every park has swings here so they love going to this specific park.

















In the evening we went downstairs to check out the Christmas lights...Our building put them up a few weeks ago and they will probably stay up through Chinese New Year....They construct this Christmas tree around the central bell structure.

Pre-Christmas

Well the cake is made, Santa's elves have been hard at work and all that is left is to make cookies for Santa:)) So before the craziness of the weekend stars (and boy am i happy Christmas is on a Saturday this year:)) Here are some pics from the last few weeks.

With their robots.



Looking for bugs in a tree stump at the Confucius temple Taichung.





Having a cooking/making tea session. They play so nicely together and love making "tea".



Wearing their scarves from South Africa...got really cold a few weeks back but back to being temperate now.



We went up to Taipei to pick up some goodies Sandy brought over from SA for us, so made a day of it and went to the zoo...of course always a favourite.

Maya was not sure about going into this little "cave". She drew quite a crowd with her dancing jig and so followed the photo session:)



Where is the tiger? Where is the tiger? Oh there it is!

Lunch in a sunbeam.

Fun and games on the hippo (with the other five thousand people that decided it was a good day for the zoo:))



We took the" train" back down to the entrance.

Maya and her "padkos"

Only in Taiwan...large poops to play in outside the bathroom....no comment!

At Peggy's building they have a great kids play room...ball pools are always a hit.



We have not bought play doh for a long time because of the gluten content but decided to give it a try in supervised sessions...Dylan saw this advertised on TV and really wanted it. Must be the influence of the bakers in his family :)



Maya LOVES her glasses and even took them to school one day but the teacher asked for her not to bring them as she was way too entertaining and distracting with them on:))





Christmas things set up for photo ops outside Park Lane.



MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
