We are slowly figuring out our family Christmas traditions and feel we better have them nailed down by next year when Kaelan will really understand. He was excited for days before Christmas because of all the presents under the tree. We had to keep our eye on him because he would sneak over and try to open his big gift! He couldn't understand why we had to wait. We finally convinced him that when the Advent Calendar was finished and the Advent Candle was burned down we would open presents. That helped a little.

Since Travis had to be in the US the 3rd week of December, I put him to good use hauling all of our Christmas goodies back to the Singapore. Lots of people sent gifts for Kaelan back, and his baby sister, so I wrapped them all up and put them under the tree even if they were meant to be bday presents. He had lots to open and he loved it!

Thanks everybody for all the wonderful gifts.
Although Christmas is very commercial here in Singapore we are fortunate to have a good church and great friends to remind us that Jesus' birth and life on this earth are why we are celebrating and are so blessed.
