We celebrated the "real" Christmas at the townhouse in San Antonio. Santa found Samantha & Emily even though Samantha would not go up & tell him that they were not in Kuala Lumpur anymore - she says she is still a "scaredy cat." Santa is always too good to us. Samantha wanted a "mop & broom" and has been cleaning after us all. Emily got a little horse she loves to ride and both are busy playing with their new dolls from Tima.
We rode the new River Taxi down the newly expanded Riverwalk last night and actually ate dinner outside at County Line - a popular BBQ spot. The Riverwalk is always lovely with Christmas lights in all the trees and decorations all around. We are having fun just doing the ordinary - going to the park and playing with the kids and having "sleep overs." Samantha & I made a garland to decorate the tree and a gingerbread house and cookies. Emily isn't quiet ready for arts & crafts and cooking yet but she entertains herself well - busy exploring everything! They are such a joy!
We are all heading to Austin on Thursday. Meeting Dave & Marion there too. We will babysit while the kids enjoy New Year's Eve and then we need to prepare ourselves to say "good bye" on January 2nd when they fly home to Malaysia. We will then head to Brownsville for the winter.
