We went to BWI to welcome Grandma W to Maryland for 'Christmas 2009'.
(Kai and I get a little silly at airports.)
On Christmas Eve, we made cookies.
We spent a lot of time decorating them just like the pros!
We picked out our favorites to leave for Santa Claus.
(We also left him the pickle ornament to hide and a glass of soy nog.)
We were so excited to come down the stairs on Christmas morning to see...
the presents, and...
the evidence that Santa left behind.
Those are the legs of a cookie on the front porch!
(Mom was not too happy about the crumbs all over, either!)
I was super happy to discover that Santa put more than just coal in my stocking!
After breakfast, we hunted for the pickle and I found it!
I had lots of fun handing out (and opening!) gifts.
Grandma really like the locket that we gave her!
After a day full of playing with toys, we went out for our traditional Chinese Christmas Dinner!
(Grandma was really good at using the chopsticks!)
It was a really great Christmas!
