Deck the halls and all that stuff

Last night we put up our Christmas tree. It is a little earlier than we would in our normally scheduled life, but since we are probably leaving for the US sometime next week (!!!!), we really like the kids to have their own tree and decorations.  Wearing their Santa hats (and Brigid also these antlers from a previous years' promotion at Starbucks), they unpacked our box of ornaments and covered the tree. Myles even pulled out from some hiding place known only to him some strands of tissue paper confetti he has had for weeks, gathered from the parking lot of a Wudaokou hotel near our church after a wedding party had just been through.



Of course our Christmas decorating would not complete without Starbucks.  Or perhaps, more accurately, couldn't be completed without Starbucks.
