Madness In The Middle Kingdom

Alice and I were fortunate en0ugh to be the hosts of this year’s kids Christmas party where a very special guest made a visit … Santa Claus. The kids were so excited to see Santa and get a present from him that it almost brought a tear to the eye.

Alice was tireless in her preparation and it showed in the great time everyone had. Carter had a good time but was still a little timid about the jolly old elf although he stepped up and got his present and even high fived Santa .. he just didn’t want to stick around too long to get pictures taken. Nathan was still in the midst of a 2 day fever and was not in his best spirits. He wasn’t sure what to make of Santa.

Some snapshots

Carter and Dad making a stocking

Abandoned by our children we carried on the father’s tradition of “doing it for them”

Nathan and LaoLao

After the tears Nathan stepped forward to get his gift.

Carter was pretty curious about the old elf.

Someone else was a little curious about Santa too!
