CNY & Valentines Day


two holidays in one... it was a bit overwhelming. I mean the Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday of the year for close to 2 billion people, almost 1/3 of the whole world. I mean they close Wellcome. So we ate Macanese food for lunch. It is also Valentines Day. I give Karla flowers every Saturday of the whole year so what do I do on Valentines Day, no flowers. I guess we are a little confused here in the Buxton house.

Karla lead worship for kids today, all 25 of them! Not a huge turnout to church on CNY day. It was alright Sean got to hangout with his friend Ryder and then we played some chess and foozeball in the youth room. We walked and bused (double decker!~) in the rain and then all of us had a two hour nap. It was much needed.

Well we got things right for dinner, heart shaped pancakes with fruits for toppings. After dinner Dad and Sean went up to the pool for a big energy sapper. He swam 4 lengths of the pool and then I gave him a rest and we played on the noodles for another 20min. The pool is nice and warm!

  1. What a great family photo.
    So glad the pancake heart-shape thingy actually works.

  2. Karla is a lucky girl, her son picks her flowers every Saturday and her husband pays for them.
    Valentines/CNY photo appreciated. Nana&Papa are so neglectful, missed sending Valentines cards?
    Do Valentine oven mitts count????
