Happy Holidays :)

We ran errands on Tuesday, mostly shopping for Christmas presents. Luce found a recipe for the cutest little Christmas cookies so we got all the ingredients and made them for Mum and Q and they were SO good! It took ages though - the recipe was meant to make 60 but ended up making 80 plus enough for an extra sheet of shortbread! We pretty much lived on cookies for Tuesday and Wednesday because Luce had no food haha.

The other cool thing that happened on Tuesday is that when Han was dropping Meme off at The Grove she saw Kris Jenner! She looked exactly like she did on TV - it was a cool celebrity sighting and one of those "oh my god I live in Los Angeles" moments.

On Wednesday Luce packed for Thailand  then we headed back out towards Corona and met Mum and Q in Disneyland to see the holiday parade and fireworks. The parade was lovely (we're both still determined to be princesses at some point) and the fireworks had to be cancelled because of wind BUT they still did the best part which is snow over Mainstreet USA! It was absolutely magical and the perfect end to the night!

Thursday was a gloriously lazy day. Luce slept in super late and Han read a new book, Divergent, from cover to cover! Such a luxury to read for pleasure again - and the book was great, a Hunger Games-esque page turner for sure!

Friday was our early family Christmas! So fun!! We all got up at 7 and had yummy apple slice for brekkie then opened our stockings! We did presents from under the tree a little later and between the two, Luce and I got heaps of nice things for our new apartment! Kitchen utensils, chopping boards, a juicer, a coffee maker, decor, and some seriously awesome speakers! We felt SO SO lucky and spoiled!! Han also got a new computer because hers has been on it's last legs for months, and we both got some spending money from our uncles to use in Thailand! As if all that wasn't amazing enough, we got another wonderful surprise...! Our extremely generous Aunt Sharon and Uncle Brendan gave us their spare car and it arrived that morning from New Jersey!! A second set of wheels! We can't even believe how lucky we are - thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone! You're the best! We had yet another delicious feast that night! Glazed ham, sweet potato with marshmallows (again!), hash brown casserole (so freakin' amazing), and an incredible cherry pie for dessert! Yum! We went to bed happy and extremely excited for our adventure the next day!

This morning we all went out and saw Saving Mr. Banks together because it was just so wonderful, then we spent the rest of the day gathering all the last little things for our trip!! We're in the airport right now, about to board our flight to Hong Kong!!! Ahh!! SO EXCITING! We're sure we'll have HEAPS of great stories and pictures to share on the blog over the next 19 days! Stay tuned!!
