TES Holiday Bazaar

We were lucky enough to be home over this long weekend to go to the Taipei European School Holiday Bazaar.  It was fun to welcome Christmas in with music, good food, and fun games!

Teddy loves his fishing games.

He also had a great time beading a necklace for Mommy for Christmas.

He also did some playing with a balloon on the field.

Of course, we had to get his face painted!

Leofoo Amusement Park

Thanks to our friends, Bob and Carlee Kowalec, we found our way to Leofoo Amusement Park this past Friday for a fun holiday adventure.

The first part of the park we visited was the Wild West.  They were celebrating Halloween and Christmas, which was a little strange since it was the day after Thanksgiving. 

The boys had a great time at the tropical bird show, which was part of the Wild West.  Strange?

All the kids had a great time on the cowboy boot ride.  You can see Carlee and Kaia in the purple boot!

On the tiny train together.

On the mini Ferris Wheel!

Teddy loved riding on the carousel.

And so did Cayden!

Teddy had fun posing on the pretend camel.

And so did Mommy!

In the safari part of the park, the dads thought it was very funny to see the Kiss animals and we just had to take this picture!

Best sign ever!

Check out #2. What?

Happy Thanksgiving 2012

Last Day of Basketball

Teddy is waiting to hear from the coaches about how great all the little four-year olds did during their very first basketball season.

Teddy is on stage with a group of friends to receive his gold participation medal.

Halloween At TAS

Teddy had a wonderful KA Halloween Party.  We got to enjoy the fun as a family!

Halloween 2012

Halloween weekend is always so busy with the TAS food fair, basketball practice, and trick-or-treating with the faculty children, but it's always such a fun and exciting weekend. This year was no different!  While, we were too busy to take pictures of the food fair, we got plenty of pictures of trick-or-treating.  Enjoy!



Walking over to the park with Mommy and Daddy.

When we arrived at the park, all the little boys were dressed as super heroes.  From left to right, Sawyer Sinclair is Spideman, Teddy Russell is Batman, and Kingston Lowman is The Green Lantern!

Teddy and his new friend, Andreas, had fun getting ready for the annual faculty children's photo.  Yes, Teddy does have a gun.  He won it at the food fair earlier in the day and thought that it was a good accessory for Batman.  His parents are not thrilled!

Teddy also got to hang out with another Batman, Theo Fagan.  Theo decided to jazz up his costume and go as a combination of Bumble Bee from Transformers and Batman - Bumble Bat!

Two of our favorite little people were there - Cayden and Kaia Kowalec!

I didn't get any good pictures of all of the children - mostly because the group was so huge this year.  Still, I love this picture because our little Spiderman friend, Sawyer, is crossing his legs and Teddy is pretending to fly.  So cute!

Teddy had a great time trick-or-treating around the park!

At the end of the night we were all very tired, but we were able to snap this cute family picture!
