Papa Grandma and Marshall visit over Christmas

 Suzy sets a beautiful table

 Nightime routine, it was Brighton's turn. Jace is funny.

 We played the fun telephone picture game

 Suzy and Faith got Henna tattoos

 Us playing Rook, which we did a lot. I loved it.

 Even when I got a hand like this.

 Uh oh, looks like that lady's watch melted. Luckily, Marshall knew what time it was. Half past an elbow, wrist standard time.

 

 I sense that this will hurt. And I'm not talking about the Lion about to eat Marshall's arm.

 Papa found the highest tower around and took us there! He is a way better explorer then I've ever been even though I've been here a year.

 Faith's birthday!

 Hugs

 Jace by MBS

 With his Sister

 And the family

 yeah, there's a random naked baby statue in the background

 The beach was fun

 I just carry this around as an accessory. Literally since I never really could get up.

 The sand was Super hot.

 Yeah for Chickens. Except for 3 in the morning.

 Gimme Gimme Gimme

 Yee Haw! in Bali.

Jace is a Boy

 Jace finds sticks wherever we go.  Jace loves sticks.

And his sisters. He loves his sisters and sticks. 

And wearing other peoples clothes. 

And acting like a Monkey

I found this older picture and thought it was cute. 

 I love me some selfies

 I REALLY love me some selfies

 I love me some mom

yeah, I love me some of this. whatever it is. 

Christmas 2015 in Singapore

Jace and Brighton opening some presents that Marshall brought with him from Papa Moustache

 Kate and Faith loved their coloring books

 It was so wonderful to have Grandma and Papa visiting for Christmas!

 Papa with his fun Chinese robe we got for him

 Jace exclaiming over his truck from Papa Moustache

 Kate and Faith loved their more advanced coloring books and have colored several pictures to the max. Not to mention having their own coloring pencils

 Brighton took advantage of Jace's book when he wasn't looking. She has the habit of doing this

 Brighton opening her present from Lilybell

 Here is the beautiful stocking Suzy knitted for me.

 Another sweet view. She did this with no pattern, and one lesson on youtube on how to knit and pearl.

 Uncle Marshalllll (as Faith spells it).  Everyone was happy that Marsh could join. He got the kids gobs of Legos, which are always a hit.

Cute Suzy hanging it on the couch.

Jace as an adult

Me to Jace
"We have the Piano recital in just a minute, you can stay down here if you act like an adult"
Jace
"Well, I can't act like an adult, but I can act like a little kid who doesn't do anything bad"

Piano Recital

Suzy hosted a Piano recital at our house on Sunday. I say Suzy since she did all the actual work, including the playing of the piano.

Here's the ending to Suzy's beautifully played song, Maiden's Prayer

Suzy arranged it so everyone could play "Name that tune" in trying to guess what the song each person played (17 different performers, some with Multiple songs).  There were prizes for the top 3.

Cute Faith rocking "God rest ye merry gentlemen"

As always, everyone is completely entranced for each piece.

Grandma and Papa Tingey were able to be here for it!

Kate played 3 songs!

Brighton got her flirt on with Jamin. I wish I had a better picture, but here she's flipping her hair. She was often touching him on the back to convince him to come do something with her instead of with Audrey (who is more his age). I sense that she will be trouble.

Here's Jamin and Audrey playing upstairs.

A good view from the balcony

Go awesomeness!
