NingNing's first Christmas Day was amazing. Christmas Eve we all went to church, then to Applebee's for dinner. Everyone was dressed up, even NingNing. I managed to get a side shot, but that's all he allowed.
Christmas Day was even better. NingNing enjoyed all his gifts very much, especially the Ipod Touch, which he kissed upon opening. We even got real kisses and hugs for that! Another neat thing is we got him a K'nex set and he and Jr built this huge thing from it, but now won't let anyone take it apart to make anything else!

He spoke a lot of English on Christmas Day, so now we know it's in there, he's just choosing when and where to use it. At one point, he smacked his finger on one of his presents and mock moaned and groaned and said "oh my beautiful finger!!". That cracked us all up and he and James could not look at each other without laughing.

We finished up the holiday by spending the night in the city while our kids spent the night with friends (NingNing and James stayed with Seth's family) for our anniversary. Had a quiet New Year's Eve at home with the kids; NingNing is going through a melancholy stage of post-Christmas letdown, missing his friends, boredom, and lack of sleep. Also think he had some sensory overload from the busy days we had before New Year's, so he's been staying in his room more to get some quiet. School starts back tomorrow, so it will be nice to get everyone back in the swing of things. We also found a piano teacher for NingNing and he starts on the 8th of January; he is looking forward to that! Hope everyone's holiday was wonderful; our first Christmas with NingNing truly couldn't have been better and he has decided he likes Christmas VERY much!
