A trip to McDonald's in Bangkok

Elizabeth Ann riding a swing in Bangkok

Ready for a walk

Maggie loves to push a baby doll in her baby doll stroller if we try to take Elizabeth Ann for a walk in her stroller. You can see Maggie here on our road. These little walks will be a precious memory to me!

Blowing bubbles

Ever since Maggie has learned how to blow bubbles, it is one of her favorite things to do. Sometimes it seems like bubbles are all she can think about. She LOVES to run outside and blow bubbles every chance she gets!

Opening birthday presents with big sister's help

Elizabeth Ann's birthday cake

Birthday girl

This is Elizabeth Ann at her first birthday party.

Riding in her little red wagon

One of Elizabeth Ann's favorite things to do these days is to ride around in her little red wagon!

Eating ice cream

Maggie got to pick out her flavor, and of course, Elizabeth Ann had to have some, too.

Playing with Maw maw

This is what happened when "Maw Maw" tried to do anything...

Christmas dresses

"Maw Maw's" bed

Maggie wanted to sleep in Maw Maw's bed every chance she got. Both girls had a good time playing in Maw Maw'sbed before bedtime.

Christmas decorations in Bangkok

Christmas tree for "Maw Maw"

Maggie was so excited to decorate this little tree for "Maw Maw's" arrival. It was even more thrilling when "Maw Maw" brought Maggie little candy canes she could hang all over it!

Pictures

This is supposed to be a picture of the girls dressed up and ready for a "meeting." Of course, these are their favorite poses...Maggie being silly and Elizabeth Ann just enthralled with whatever big sister is doing.

Elizabeth Ann's new smile

This little grin is getting to be Elizabeth Ann's little trademark, now that she is getting some teeth on top (at 11 months).

Ready to go!

Just another picture of Alysia and the girls...ready to go out.

swing

Here is Maggie swinging in a little swing our helpers put together for her in the yard. They put the swing together out of a blanket, and climbed high up in the tree to tie it up for her.

Maggie at Deepawali

Deepawali is an Indian holiday celebrated by many in our country. Here, Maggie is dressed up in a sari given to her by some of our friends for her birthday. She felt that this sari was real princess attire and kept calling herself "princess" all night when she wore it. At this dinner celebrating Deepawali, one friend had brought Maggie a mask to play with, and is here demonstrating to her how to use it.
