Nutcracker Ballet

We went to see The Nutcracker with our friends, the Fungs and the Hershkowitzes.

Noah's Birthday

Abby's friend, Noah, had a super hero birthday party at Pump It Up. It was so much fun!

Thanksgiving at Legoland

Our family tradition is to go to a theme park on Thanksgiving day so we were at Legoland this year. 

 They have a great Star Wars exhibit.

 Abby was finally big enough to go on almost every ride.

 Abby and Jonathan had the dino dig site all to themselves.

Thanksgiving at Preschool

Lemur Walk

We went to the new Lemur Exhibit at the WAP and it was awesome!!!

Halloween fun

Abby's First Soccer Camp

Abby has started a little soccer clinic after school on Fridays. Believe it or not, this was today-the first day of November-a beautiful sunny 77 degrees!

 They put red "jerseys" on to play a little game at the end of practice.

Harvest Party 2013

We went to our church's harvest party last night and had so much fun! Abby was brave enough to go for her first pony ride ever. Of course her friend Captain America (Jax) was right behind her!

Keeping the world safe from Zombies

That's right, you can all rest a little easier tonight.  Last night I killed a  bunch of zombies playing zombie paintball.  We only suffered minor casualties.  Some of them didn't go down easy and take a few shots.  And two of them I backed over with my car.  Luckily they turned out to be zombies.

Abby's 5th Birthday

Hard to believe that our princess is 5.

Family Camp

We went camping this weekend with some old friends and some new friends. It was Abby's first tent camping and she did great despite a 1/4 mile hike to the bathrooms!

Taiwan R.O.C.ks

We went to the 3rd Annual Taiwan ROCks reunion which was held in Anaheim this year. Over 30 families who adopted kiddos from Taiwan (some who we even traveled with!) gathered for support, cultural fun, and Anaheim fun. We had a private party at Build-A-Bear and spent some time at the Lego store.

 The last time Abby and Iris saw each other was the Taipei Zoo four years ago!

 Cinderella made a surprise appearance on Saturday!

 Lion dancers!

Our private Build A Bear party was crazy fun!

Downtown Disney Lego store

Of course, hanging out in the hotel and "playing hotel" was fun too. (Jon's scary T-shirt is from ComicCon the previous weekend.)
