Merry Christmas from the Brandt Kids in Tianjin

Celebrating with you the day HEAVEN came and dwelt among us as a baby.

Down on Christmas Day

We are thankful for a fairly healthy season in our family, but Hayden finally came down with a cough and is feeling very much under the weather on Christmas Day. Here he is, so tired from the morning's festivities...

Christmas Eve

The night before Christmas, the little ones were busy writing letters to Santa

We left out a cookie for Santa near the Ping-Tai (balcony, no chimneys in 28 floor buildings)


Stockings hung conveniently on the door to the ping-tai.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

The kids helped frost Daddy's birthday cake.

Guess who got to help Daddy blow out the candles?

Going out for Indian food to celebrate!
