December 6th

This morning Evie and I got to watch as the hotel staff decorated a Christmas tree in the lobby.
It was so nice to share with her this experience.  The tree is very large (although artificial) and very bright with white lights and a star on the top.  The hung lots of gold and red ornaments, as well as small santa clauses and poinsettas.
The head of housekeeping gave Evleyn one of the small Santas and we learned that in Vietnamese Santa is called,
Om Zi No en  ( spelled phonetically, I am sure not correctly).  It was such a joyous little part of our day.   Everyone seemed to sense how special this was for me and for Evelyn. I plan on taking a few pictures by the tree later!!!

Soon I hope to put up a small  christmas tree in our own home!!

4 - It sounds like you two had a nice day today. I think next year we will opt for an artificial tree as our real tree mysteriously fell over last night twice!!! It was like watching the whole thing in slow motion!!!! Thanks to your wonderful brother the tree is now tied to the staircase, and luckily only one ornament broke!! Alexis is hoping you see the gecko at least one more time as she is dying for a pic, and if u could she would LOVE for you to sneak it on board for the ride home with Evie!!!!
Will check in again tomorrow, hopefully some good news will greet us. Love Karen and the gang! (Comment this)
