Merry Christmas!

Thank you to Popo and Gong Gong and Uncle Andrew for joining us this Christmas season! It was a FULL HOUSE indeed!

Opening some special presents on Christmas eve…SUGARY CEREAL!!

Elise loved it SOOOO much…well…you get the picture!

Christmas morning – FUN ACTIVITY presents from Gong Gong and Po Po! Elise spent the next few days working away at her beautiful crafts.  Thanks po po!

Of course…what’s a present opening time without a little bit of territorial battles..

Guess who won THIS battle? Haha!

Well really…EVERYONE WINS! It’s a Gingerbread house kit! Looks so beautiful (on the box…)

Mom…I think it’s supposed to stay STANDING up? and we decorate it AFTER the walls are standing?

Ooops!! Why is everyone on the floor? Oh yeah…bag of jelly beans sprayed open…TREATS FOR ALL!!

Abby: Hey…that looks pretty tasty…

Let me see what I can get my hands on…heheh.

And what Christmas would be complete without a visit to SANTA at the NORTH POLE!! (aka Conestoga Mall). Abby just LOVES bearded men in costume…

Merry Christmas EVERYONE!

Christmas Tree Decorating!

This was the first Christmas that we got a chance to decorate our own tree with our own decorations!

If you look closely…you’ll see that the thing shining the brightest in this picture isn’t the lights in the tree…(it’s Abby’s drop of drool! Priceless!)

This was Elise’s very own “BRANCH”…jam packed with ornaments…I count 5!

Abby gets her own ornament too! Can you see her??

What a big difference one year can make…=)

…………Christmas 2013…………………………….Christmas 2012……………

Now I gotta wait HOW long before I can open my presents???

Random Happenings in the Wang Household

This past year has absolutely blown by – and as the year draws to a close, we just wanted to put together as many random pictures and videos as we could to give you an idea of how time passes in the Wang household!

Presenting…QUEEN ABBY!!! (Yes…that is a yogurt box on her head.  No, she did not eat any of the yogurt as she is allergic…she just wore the box on her head – come on people what kind of irresponsible parents do you think we are?)

Enjoying some sister time…just sitting…on chairs…hanging out.  REALLY! (Actually, mom was out, dad was busy with some work…so we got some extra sweet TV TIME! BOOYAH!)

Goofing around with Dad

Dad sharing a favourite past-time as a kid with Abby – he would pretend to eat food out of books that Nai Nai would be reading (usually recipe books. haha!)

Only ONE other girl’s kisses can make daddy smile that way! (MOM of course!Abby can’t really kiss yet…whenever we ask her to kiss…she puts her forehead to our lips for US to kiss HER!)

Elise loves to sit and read quietly.

And here our girls just sitting nicely together…

Posing nicely for pictures…

Hanging out together…no other incentive/motivation required…

heheh…yeah right…TV TIME!!! =)

Abby: I’ve been working on my modelling career – I hear they’re looking for a new look at Baby Vogue.

Hold on a sec – I’m just on the phone with my agent.

Abby: Hey jieh jieh – all that talking on the phone and playing has made me tired…

Elise: bed time…*yawn*…

I just love using mom’s blanket…so soft and comforting.

Abby: Seems like jieh jieh prefers the bathroom floor…oh well…to each their own!

Sisterly Love

As our two “little” girls grow up, it is such a joy to watch them grow closer together.  We can only pray as parents that these joyful years can continue on into a beautiful friendship – thanks for journeying with our family!

Playing on the train tracks…daddy’s idea of a nice photo shoot.

Just hanging out at home.

Going for walks in the forest with mom and dad, when it’s warm…

And when it’s COLD!!

Keeping Yeh Yeh company when Nai Nai’s away in Taiwan =)

Just a random picture of Abby being silly…

Or sleepy.

Elise has become such an encouraging and caring BIG SISTER! Even to the point of grabbing a stool to sit with her mui mui (Abby) during POTTY TIME and chanting “Jia You!” (“Add Oil” aka – a chinese phrase to motivate someone…like adding oil to a car…to move it…)

Playing in the park together.

Discovering the joy of GIANT BROWN PAPER BAGS!!

Here’s to the years ahead…come what may!
