Wow....Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year just pasted at warp speed. It is hard to believe that it is the 13th of January already.

We had a great visit in the US over Thanksgiving.

It was fun to see our extended family. Some of them we have not seen for 3+ years.

Thanksgiving day...kids working a puzzle...

The turkey carvers

The dinner crowd

Decorating cookies...

Fast forward to December 12th

The kids arrived in Shanghai to celebrate Christmas Chinese style

Abi and I at Shanghai Bay with our new friend

Our little Christmas tree...
The poor thing did not have a top so I had to create one with sparkler things.

Fast forward to New Years Eve

Happy New Year from the Spoffords

Yes...this is us on New Years Eve. We had dinner with the kids at one of our favorite restaurants. After dinner the kids went out with friends and Tim and I went home. We (the older gen) watched the world from our window over looking the river. I had to wake Tim up at midnight to see the fireworks and say Happy New Year!

We are such party animals!

It's a new year...I hope to blog more!
