December has been a stressful month, with Chad being gone and trying to get ready to move. Plus, December brings all the Christmas activities!
We started off the month at Kid's Club Christmas party at a hotel in Honqiao. The kids had a blast decorating cookies, playing games, singing songs, and of course meeting Santa.Well.... Santa's helper! Thankfully, we've had the discussion how Santa is too busy to be everywhere so he has to send his helpers sometimes. As you can clearly see in the pics he wasn't the 'real' Santa! lol.. Plus, Brady saw him change in the bathroom! HA

My friend Katherine was in the same type of single parenting situtation as us with her husband traveling. So we had planned this weekend with going to the party and then staying at the World Financial Center using one of our free Hyatt nights. Unfortunately, pink eye made it's way through their house so they weren't able to join us :( However, the kids and I still went and enjoyed the awesome hotel! Our room was up on the 81st floor and the kids went swimming up on the 85th floor!! They loved being so high up :)

Next up was Rilynn's Christmas program. Her class skit was a song about being in a Greek restaurant. It was cute- The family had burnt the chicken dinner so they needed to go out to eat for Christmas :)
She also had a paragraph speaking line concluding the program. She did awesome in front of so many people!

Lastly, was Brady's school party. Santa made a surprise visit and brought each kid a book! Clearly, this was another one of Santa's helpers :) LOL
