Christmas

 Christmas in Beijing comes and goes pretty fast it seems, but it never does without lots of celebration. 
Here's a look at Christmas 2011.




 Christmas brunch.

Post-gift picture. 
It has become a tradition to take a group picture with as many of our presents as possible. :)

 On Christmas night, we went out to look at lights. Aren't they awesome?




 Running into a good friend in a city of millions is always a nice surprise. It was an unexpected Christmas present to see my student/good friend while we were out.

And this morning...I had the day off. Another blessing. 

I stayed at home, made cinnamon rolls, called my family, and pretended that Christmas wasn't over.



It's been a good celebration. 
Merry Christmas, again. :)
