Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year to all of our family and friends.
Before the actual holiday, we took a family trip to Jurong Bird Park. It was a lot of fun. Check out the macaws hanging out behind the girls!
And the lovely pink "famingos."
Of course, the monorail was the best part.
Always a little safer when there's a mom involved.
Mom and Dad's Christmas wish - our furniture - was not filled until the 28th, but we made the best of it. There was more room to practice on Ida's new scooter:
And plenty of space for the new lego castle.
Or the dwarf tea house.
Of course, one of the best parts about Singapore - you can ride your new scooter outside, right away!
Leaving the boys in the dust already.
And the new spinning chairs provided a new fun place to sit. Thanks, Nana and Papa!
Then it was off for a new spin around the block. Mom finally saw the Merlion, so she feels like she's truly arrived in Singapore now:
Dad and Ida Jane had fun at the Asian Civilizations Museum:
A nice picture by an old truss bridge (second oldest in Singapore):
Then our furniture finally arrived, including our Christmas presents from Baba and Meme. Harper loves her new rocking chair:
And Ida Jane still uses hers all the time. Here we are having some Wii fun:
And here's the playroom, all cleaned up. We took a picture because it won't look like this again for a long time, I'm sure.
