Every time I told Ethan to smile for this picture he stuck his finger up his nose!

Happy Birthday, Ryan!
While we are on the subjects of birthday's I thought I'd share a few pictures I received recently of my neices and nephew's birthday cakes...
Kaylee got a tiny purse cake for her first birthday!
Anna got a bigger purse cake at the same party!
And Keegan got a crayon birthday cake for his second birthday!*****
The following video is from Ethan's birthday. It's of him playing with Little People so most of you may find it quite boring - this one is for the Grandma's and Aunts:)

The Tree Is UP!
Kaitlyn, Kenton, Lovel and I trimmed the tree tonight with all lights off except the tree and Christmas music in the background! This is my FAVORITE time of year:) We'll see what the tree looks like in the morning in the daylight... =0 ****
Ryan and I had to run some errands this afternoon - at one point we were on Orchard Road listening to "Let It Snow" blaring from loudspeakers. We both looked around at the Singaporeans and wondered what they know about snow...!
****
One of our errands was to replace Ethan's green card. We were IMPRESSED that we walked out of the government building 40 minutes after we walked in WITH GREEN CARD IN HAND! That was with 30 numbers in front of us! Ryan says that when he has gone to the US Embassy to add more pages to his passport it's taken that long to get someone to notice he's there:)
****
Hope everyone is enjoying the day after Thanksgiving shopping! Ryan had a gift certificate to a department store called Takashimaya so we stopped there to buy a few Christmas gifts for the kids. It was the closest I've come to being in a US department store during the Christmas season - complete with crowds of people, Christmas decorations, and holiday music...

Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm SO excited for tomorrow! I'm looking forward to having turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and lots of gravy:) We are going in together with five families to have a regular, ol', American Thanksgiving meal at our neighbor's condo across the hall...boy are we looking forward to it!! I still have to get the pies made and get the ingredients for the green bean casserole but the good news is that the stores won't be any crazier than normal and there won't be a big rush on Thanksgiving ingredients either:)
Other than that we've been staying busy as usual! Ryan's been around this week which has been nice. I've worked at the PTA book fair for the past three afternoons processing the books that the teachers picked out for their classrooms. They all have a budget to get new books with.
Kaitlyn is at her first overnight playdate with three other girls from her class - we'll see how it goes. I'm a little bit nervous! Kenton's wondering around a little lost without his buddy...
I took Ethan this morning with me to Starbucks with my friend Melissa and he skipped the whole way into the store from the carpark! While it's fun to see him grow up enough to be excited about something it's sad that my baby isn't little anymore:( We also went to playgroup this morning before I took off to the book fair and as we were leaving he turned to the hostess and said, "Bye, Karen!" She nor I had any idea that he knew her name!
We are praying that everyone of you has a Blessed Thanksgiving! We are thankful for our blessings and our freedoms even though we are half way around the world:)

Happy Birthday, Buddy!
It's hard to believe he's TWO!
Ashton, Kenton, Kaitlyn, and Jack all had fun playing the computer and Wii. Jack is in Kaitlyn's class at school and Ashton is in the same grade. Kait is not one bit bothered by the fact she is the only girl!
Misha is one of Ethan's favorite people right now! They are in the same playgroup together and E walks around the house talking about her a lot.
The Cake!
When we started singing Happy Birthday Ethan jumped off his chair and hid around the corner!
