Christmas Activities

Christmas Cookie Decorating

A friend named Sonia Knapp that we met a few months ago has been inviting us to do things, but we have always had sometime going on--so we were very happy when we were able to go to her Cookie decorating!!  She had invited some other kids, and we invited our Korean friends, and we all had a great time.

Wheeler loved the cookies and was a horrible mess the rest of the day--sugar doesn't agree with this kid!

But he looks so cute doing it!

This is our friend Edwin.  When we ask him "how are you?" 

he answers "handsome!" 

Our friend Amanda---she and Edwin are siblings and they speak the best English of the kids who go to school with our girls. 

We really like them. 

Sedona cracks me up!

They seemed to have a great time. 

These two kids and there parents were really great.  The dad went to College in USA and then taught at a college there, the little boy is the best English speaker his age I have ever seen.  The girl didn't talk so I don't know if she spoke English well or not.

More cookies--Sonia did an amazing job!  100 cookies, tons of fun decorations, and lots of frosting!

The only picture I got of Sonia!  She has a great place

I think the sugar crash is happening in this picture!

The following pictures are of the cookies we decorated. 

These are Amy's--and I think Wheeler ate the ones he decorated

We had a great time and were so glad we went. 

After this we went to the Chruch

This is brother Kim and his son.  This family is really amazing.  They have three sons, two are totally talented, and the third some is handicapped.  He is about Wheelers age mentally, but is actually about 14.

This is Brother Kim and another ward member doing exercise.  They were both really flexible and I was totally impressed.  Wheeler was having a breakdown from all the sugar so Lucas was dealing with him and my camera kept dying and my phone was dead so I have a few videos from the event I will try to post later. 

It was a talent show and our family sang a song. Overall the night was fun.  They gave our family big boxes of junk food and a santa hat.
