On Christmas day I had a flashback. A picture flashed through my mind of sitting on a train going to south Taiwan. Last year on Christmas day we were travelling to visit a friend and do some sight seeing in Taiwan when all of a sudden for the first time I felt Cassie kick in my stomach. I remember that being such a gift to make Christmas feel special even though we were away from family. This year we also were given a gift- the chance to celebrate our first Christmas with a child.
We had a wonderful time with friends sharing the holiday and had a great balance of time with people, yet not feeling rushed or busy. We enjoyed a beautiful Chinese choir on Christmas Eve, a sleepover with friends, waking up Christmas morning to yummy pancakes with real Canadian Maple Syrup, a Turkey dinner with Dane, Bee and many other friends, and finally, tonight to finish it off a party with our Taiwanese friends. We hope you enjoy the short video of our highlightes from Christmas 2008.
