We haven't spent Christmas in San Diego since moving to Asia 4 years ago, so it was extra special doing the holiday the real American way this year. We flew into LA and was able to spend a night with Jen in her new apartment and celebrate Ali's birthday. It was too short, as always, but so nice seeing both of them. Happy to see Jen back in her element, though we sorely miss her in HK. Christmas at Holly and Keith's was as traditional as it gets - lots of presents, games, rough-housing amongst the boys, good smells wafting from the kitchen, football on TV and even a quick game in the park. After the kids reluctantly went to bed every night, (way past their bedtime!) we sat and caught up with each other and hoped that the next time we see Holly and Keith will be in Hong Kong. After Hawaii and before heading back home, we returned to San Diego and stayed with Eric and Steph for more light sabering and wrestling and general mayhem when lots of boys get together. Extra special treat before getting on our flight in LA was visiting Yvonne, Dave, and their beautiful little girls, Yaya and Ting Ting. Always nice to get back to Cali - with family and good friends there, it will always feel like home.
