Christmas 2013 in Millbrae

Wednesday, December 25, 2013

Christmas Day! Simon was so excited to open his presents from Santa. Santa drank all the milk and ate most of the cookies and left 3 presents for Simon and 2 presents for Iris. Here is the other gift he asked for: a flat bed truck.

Simon helped to open Iris’ gifts too. Santa wrapped them in special reindeer wrapping paper.

Simon couldn’t wait so GM Chung let him open one gift: a piggy bank. Simon then went around asking for coins so that he could fill his bank.

Simon put on a performance for us too using the karaoke set and YouTube. He saw Frosty the Snowman, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and some Chinese songs. In the short while that Christmas songs have been on the radio, he has pretty much memorized the words to Frosty the Snowman. I was quite impressed.
