These are Jade’s best buds in class this year: Luvella and Liam.
When she arrived home she was excited to tell me they played musical chairs to a song by the name of Gangnam Style. I wasn’t sure if I should laugh or cry. What are they exposing my child to?! ;P The worst part is the song made a big enough impression that she actually remembered its name! Truthfully though, I got a pretty good laugh out of it.
Jade is a really sweet and giving little girl. She wanted to give Christmas presents to all her friends. I opted for goodie bags to give out in class, church, and to neighbor friends. That way everyone was covered! I used one of her drawings to personalize the tags. I simply scanned her drawing and added text before printing it in a smaller size. 
Jade was very concentrated as she happily stuffed goodie bags.
Jade’s best friend from her school class last year, Remi, threw a Christmas party for all the Montessori friends. Her mom is a superstar for hosting 13 + kids—ages 5 and under—and their parents in a Hong Kong sized apartment!! The kids were all over the place until we wrangled them in for the arrival of Santa Claus.
To get them to settle down a little, we had them sing the Christmas songs they had all learned for the school Christmas program!
Then in came… 
Santa????
These are the looks of bewildered faces…
…and maybe even disappointed ones. You can’t trick these kids. They knew it was Remi’s dad.
Don’t worry, the disappointment didn’t last long. This Santa still came bearing presents after all. 
Lastly, Cody’s work had a little party in the office on Christmas Eve day, complete with roasted pig, cha shui, dim sum, and seafood pizza. 
Oh, yah. Annnd they had a funny clown. Who spoke all in Cantonese. 
But Jade got a balloon bracelet and kitty, so she was a happy girl. Even if she didn’t understand his jokes.
It was actually really fun to see Cody’s office and let the kids hang out with him at work.
Not a bad view, eh?!
Jade had fun watching the clown, eating at Daddy’s desk, and scoring treats and balloons.
Ridge, on the other hand, enjoyed exploring the entire office. Touching and moving anything we’d let him get his hands on.
