The Last Month of 2025

I love them so much I could eat them up alive. 😍😂

Here Lele wanted a square drawn on his face after Coco had a heart on hers. 

Taught them how to buy food so they would be prepared when we went to the store. Also had a lesson on sharing. Though not sure what Yiyi learned the most: to buy or hoard his food. 😂

Some candid photos 

Went on a field trip to the store.

The kids added lots of things to their carts that we didn't actually end up buying. lol

Yiyi's hat cracks me up. 😆

Then we sat around and everyone talked about what they had bought.

Aiden playing with his lunch first. :) 

Lele got 2 of these hawthorn tablet rolls: 1 for him and 1 for me. 💜

Decorating the Christmas tree. Even though Christmas isn't "celebrated" in China as a holiday, some schools and business still decorate and play Christmas music.

Irene is Coco's good friend.

Lele: Peekabo!

New little friends

Making umbrellas

Field trip to the mall to see a Christmas tree

What an interesting name. 😄

Had a lesson on hot to enjoy hot pot.

His faces are too funny.

How I love them so.💖

Flowers at the new grocery store near my house.

Christmas decor

My friend made us supper. The egg is steamed - a new way to try.

One Sunday on the subway on the way to church, 2 girls came up to me and my housemate and gave us these crackers.

A very packed escelator

I got extremely sick in December and my dear friend brought this porridge over one afternoon.

My best aunt sent a book, and I got notification it arrived. My friend wanted to help me retrieve it, so we drove around 30 minutes to this place to pick it up. That day it was closed. So went another day. Turns out it was at a location near my house. 🙈

Found it! 

Gorgeous cover

I had the opportunity to have a modeling experience for jewelry. 

These decorations were in a couple malls we walked through.

First step was getting makeup and hair done which took around 2 hours.

At the studio, I found this cat.

Great picture of the sky to end this monthly recap with. :) 

How was your December?
