After being home for a couple weeks many Christmas festivities and "firsts" were headed Jin's way.
1st Taste of "American" Chinese Noodles- Not too bad!
Helping Mama in the kitchen make mashed potatoes
Our church delivers lunch once a month to the Franklin Fire Department, just around the corner from the church, and we signed up for a "side". Jin and Mama had fun in the kitchen, without too much mess, and whipped up the creamest, smoothest, best ever mashed potatoes. He loved helping in the kitchen. Watching the mixer whirl around was a lot of fun.
Jin's Gingerbread Garland
Jin and I headed downtown to the library for a "creative" activity to usher in Christmas. He loved decorating his gingerbreadmen with glitter and sticky foam designs. I was impressed with his detailed interest and intent. Above you will find his final creation. Then we went to Farmer's Market to scrounge up real Chinese noodles raman style at the International Market. Jackpot! Jin chose Manchurian and Schezwan. Can you guess what we had for lunch? NOODLES :) Jin consumed 4 cups of milk with his noodles while hardly speaking a word. Something was wrong... I tasted his noodles and found the answer. THEY WERE SPICY HOT!!!!!! Poor thing, he wanted noodles so badly he was willing to eat them spice and all.
Jin visits Jon Campbell's classroom after the Christmas Concert
Here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane...
Jin grabs another "photo op" with Santa at Thomas' birthday party. It was a great party full of cookies, milk and a story read by Santa.
Our 1st visit to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center
We listened to magicial Christmas music with visits from the Grinch and Santa Claus. The boys enjoyed the singing, stories and the amazing orchestra. Thank you Owens for the tickets. The symphony center is amazing.
