We continued Russ' Birthday Celebration at a local hotel. When you arrive for dinner they bang a gong to announce your entrance. It is a yummy buffet with many desserts, some of them are really tasty!!
Russ and Sydney celebrated their 33rd Wedding Anniversary on 08-08-08!! Time sure flies when you're having fun! We're looking forward to 33 more years!!
Kelli's birthday started with a trip to the cow market with our language teacher, Khruu Too. Aubrey learned to play "Happy Birthday" on the guitar. We also went to Swensen's ice cream for a "Firecracker Birthday Dessert".
One of the kids favorite memories is of going to Poppa's and Grandma's for homemade chocolate milkshakes. Rusty keeps the tradition by following Poppa's recipe!!
We decided to go ahead and celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas since we wouldn't be in the states. We had turkey, dressing and all the trimmings. And then we exchanged $1 gifts--we had a great time!! We also had a Photographer come to take family pictures!!
