Sorry!

Ok. Sorry guys it has been over a month since I posted here! Not much has gone on, but then again, a lot has!
So I'll start with Thanksgiving. We didn't have it off, seeing as it is an American holiday, not a Chinese, so we had Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday with the branch! There were 82 people squeezed into our house! Luckily, everyone fit, and we had to much food! We had 4 turkeys, and only ate 3 of them, and then we had all the trimmings! I have pictures and will post them soon! (Yeah right!)
So then...see this is what happens when I don't post forever! I don't remember what happened after Thanksgiving.
Anyway. We will be here for Christmas. Christmas Eve Day, church is only one hour since no one will be there, but then everyone that is there (us) is coming to our house if they want to eat Christmas Eve dinner. We are just doing ham sandwhiches and little appitizers. So that will be good. My mother refuses to buy a big Christmas tree, so we have this small 2 foot tree on a side table in the living room. (How lame!) I'll post a picture of it too! There are not even lights on it!
So then Christmas Night I think we are going to go to some hotel place and eat food. I'm not sure, but will let you know!
Oh yeah, I rememebered something we did! We went to Hong Kong on the first weekend in December and went to a place called Stanley Market. It was pretty expensive (Hong Kong is expensive!) but we did get some things. They have a new used bookstore that just opened so we went and bought the whole store! Well, not the WHOLE store, but we did buy a lot of books! But they are all for Christmas, so I don't have any of them yet! The girls got some clothes, and Ben got new shoes. I don't know why I am telling this because they are all Christmas presents! Except that this year, we already know what we are getting! We also ate at a really good restaurant there, and had some good, western food.
The day after Christmas, we are going to a place called Guilin in China somewhere where it will be 45 o F, so I am excited for it to be cold! Except that it has been pretty much that cold here! It has been 9 degrees C which is about 48 degrees F. So it won't be to much of a difference! Guilin is basically a mountanis place, if mountanis is a real word. If not, I have just invented it. I hear it is a western fix place, so I am excited, since I am sad that I don't get to come home like all my friends. I was going to cry when I found out that tomorrow (Wednesday) ALLL of my friends are going to be gone and are going home. It was very depressing. ANYWAY!
We took Christmas card photos on Sunday and we are going to do a Christmas e-Card. So that will be cool, since it is too expensive to send them to EVERYONE!

We hope you are all doing great and we miss you dearly!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!!!!

Love, The Busath's
