Kids Club has their Christmas party last weekend so the kids and I went. It was at a hotel in Hongqiao. We had a fun weekend planned with our friends, but unfortunately pink eye went through their house and they weren't able to come with us :( So the kids and I went to the party ourselves.. They had a lot of fun. They decorated cookies and ornaments, ate a lot of food, sang christmas carols, played a bunch of games, and even met Santa... Well, "Santa's helper" as the kids said. Since they have seen some 'horrible' looking Santa's over the years they understand that they are not really Santa, but his 'helpers'. Thankfully that has worked! And luckily because this one was about 150lbs, in his 20's, and had a lovely elastic beard! LOL.. Plus, Brady saw him change in the bathroom and go back to his booth at the party!!!! :)

Lots of kids! Playing "Pass the Parcel".. aka present :)
OOOOOhh, Santa!!! :)
After our party we had planned to have a mini vacation and use up one of our free nights at a Hyatt hotel. There happened to be an awesome hotel 5 minutes from our house in the Shanghai World Financial Center. It is the 2nd highest hotel in the world! We stayed up on the 81st floor (building has a total of 101 floors) and had amazing views of the city!!!! The kids also went swimming on the 85th floor. I wish I could've gotten better pics because it really was so awesome being up that high with the amazing views of the lights..
