Holiday Fun!

It is that time of year again.  Santa is in the air and we started off the month having breakfast with him! Liam and Elsa have very different feeling about Santa.  Liam loves telling Santa what he wants for Christmas.  Elsa doesn't.

After fun earlier in the month, and after Liam's birthday, we headed over to Berkeley for Christmas Eve with Arne's family.

After a nice evening, and a night of sleep, we woke up to Christmas morning fun.

After a nice lunch, we headed over to Millbrae for Christmas afternoon and dinner with Karna's family.  There were more gifts, and a skee ball tournament (Liam's gift from Grandma).

All and all a lovely Christmas holiday.

Liam is Seven

On Winter Solstice, Liam turned 7!  It was the day after school got out for winter break, and he planned a party for his friends at his house.

He was very excited to have his friends create Galaxy Jars.

They also played with hex bugs and other of his toys.

Then it was time for the Treasure Hunt.  The kids used the clues to find the treasure.  Sam won!

What a good group of friends!

After pizza they headed outside for a Chase pinata!

Elsa took off the body and then the kids claimed the prizes.

We then gathered for Birthday Cake.

After his friends left, his family came over for a late lunch, present opening and fun with balloons.

A great day for Liam!

Liam's Broken Arm

While playing on the bars last Sunday, Liam fell and broke his left elbow!  We went to urgent care and they were not sure if it was really broken, because the X-rays did not show anything clear. By Monday night the elbow was swollen, and Arne took Liam into the orthopedist that Elsa saw in January and he left with a huge cast.  The cast comes off January 6, and until then, Liam just wants to be able to straighten his arm.  Overall, he is still in good spirits!
