Christmas Vacation (II)

 

On the second day after Christmas,  Lex Gege started to feel better. He even read a story to me during the day.

On the third day after Christmas, he felt even better. He went outside to play his Christmas gift from Mimi and Papa, a Radio Flyer scooter.

Papa gave him a mission, picking up the acorns on the front yard. He got a full container in no time, of course, with a big help from Mama.

While Lex was enjoying his scooter, outside the house, I enjoyed taking a bath in a whale bath tub inside the house.

I also had chance to meet Sara, Mama's friends Karen and Feng Xiang's daughter. Karen and Sara were on the way to move to Atlanta from Arkansas. Mama invited them to stop by Mimi and Papa's house to have supper with us.

On the forth day after Xmas, Tucker and Ella Rene were sent by Stephanie Gugu and Davide Shushu to Mimi and Papa's house. Both Gugu and Shushu were sick from a trip to visit Tucker's other Grandparents. This was the reason that we did not have their pictures for this year's Christmas.

Mimi took all of us to the Riverchase Galleria mall.

The biggest mission on that day in the mall was to build a Bear from Build a Bear workshop. Here are the procedures:

First you pick what you want to build. It can be an animal, a cartoon character or others. Then you wait in line to feed cottons in his belly.

Then, you give your pick a bath.

Lex picked a real bear, while Tucker chose to build Santa. It looked that Ella Rene picked a cute mouse.

 

After you cleaning your pick, you can choose a outfit for her/him/it. 

Lex picked a superman outfit for his bear. Tucker picked a winter outfit for his Santa. I don't know if this Santa is going to bring him extra Christmas gifts. Oh, I forget to mention that Mimi built a brown rabbit for me.

The jumping monkey was one of Tucker's Christmas gift. Lex had one too. 

The following day was our uniform day. Who made the outfit for us? Can you guess?!

You are right! Out talented Stephanie Gugu.

The following following day was our flying day, flying back to Boston. 

Guess what! I beat Lex Gege by two months for the first time to be on an airplane. It was pretty comfortable. I knew that Baba probably won't agree with me.

Every holiday appears to have its extended period, especially the big Christmas holiday. Baba received a gift from a secret Santa at the last day of 2013.
