#42 Christmas Day

Christmas morning in China was much like Christmas in Peoria. The kids were told not to wake Mom and Dad prior to 6AM. They were very patient, but the house exploded with voices when the clock struck six.

Among the many exciting gifts the kids received, the Nitendo Wii was the biggest crowd-pleaser. Shown is the pictures are also Maria in her Chinese silk nightgown and Joseph with his embroidered picture of the Great Wall.

Later in the afternoon, we were graciously hosted by my colleague Bill and his wife Tamara. Our dinner party is shown as well as shot of Bill leading us on a house tour of his expat Chinese villa. Kathleen looks stunning in a custom made Chinese silk shirt of her own.
