We were very blessed to have both Rachel and Michael with us for Christmas.  Especially since I am afraid that it could be our last one together in China.  Many changes are coming this year with  Michael’s graduation and going into the workforce and Jessie beginning college in Pittsburgh.  Getting us all together in Tianjin next year will be tricky.  We spent lots of quality time together cooking, playing games and going on “coffee dates” to Starbucks.   A very special friend from Virginia sent the Settlers of Catan game the kids and Sean had lot of late night competitive games.

Beautiful table centerpiece Michael put together for Christmas dinner.
