Well, internet traffic is still sporadic at best. If you can manage to stay up late enough it gets better early in the morning, but it's not worth it. I had planned to post a video from Christmas morning with the kids opening packages and other pics from Christmas, but it just doesn't feel right anymore...
We will be busy the next 10 days or so because we will be hosting several friends from New Zealand, including our business partner. We have many exciting things set up to do, including some English teaching and sight-seeing. But the main thing is that we are hosting a seminar out in one of the counties on how to start a small business. We are excited because we hear that over 100 people are interested in attending.
Shortly after they leave we will be heading out of the country for vacation and seminars. We will try to blog when we can.

This picture is from Christmas day... It is a tradition here in Xining for all of the expats to go to the park on Christmas afternoon to skate and sled. This year they had drained the lake in the park so we had to go to the river. Here in Xining they have these chairs on rails that you can rent along with mini-ski poles so you can slide around on the ice. It's a lot of fun and we have never missed a year. This year some friends loaned us skates so Ellie and Sara both tried ice skating for the first time as well. Though I think it was difficult enough for them that it won't happen again anytime soon.

I think that I might need to make one of those chairs!
Rishona and Rebekah want to go ice skating with their awana group next week. I am trying to convince them it is cold and it hurts when they fall. I even tried to scare them with a traumatic story about my ice skating. I told them about all the blood and the hospital. They are not to be discouraged. I will have to hire someone to take them. Two out of Three times I have ice skated I have gotten stitches. I might have to push them down on the icy driveway a few times to see if they still want to go.
