Hello Friends and Family,
We are trying our best to enjoy the Christmas holidays here away from you and creating new/different experiences while we are here. So Christmas will be in a three day installment for us while we are here. After a wonderful time with friends earlier today and a great Sunday afternoon nap, we got dressed up and went to the nicest restaurant with the best food around...Pizza Hut!!! Kealy wore a beautiful skirt and I put on a tie and suitcoat for the first time since arriving in China. We went to Pizza Hut and had a great feast with Pizza, soup, dessert and many other great foods fit for a king. We had a great time talking and sharing about Christmas' in the past and enjoyed each others company.
After arriving home from our delicious feast we got a call from our friends here at the middle school and they invited us to a christmas dinner they were having at one of the local coffee shops. We decided to go and wound up having another incredible feast. They barbecued corn, beef, chicken and had popcorn and icecream too. We had fun talking with many of their friends who are Chinese nationals. We talked about Christmas and they shared some Chinese words with us while we shared some more English words with them. They are enamored with Kealy's smile and told her tonight they she looks like, 'the beautiful women we see in the movies!' One of them named YaYa sat down next to Kealy and said 'I want to sit next to the pretty girl!'

Its been a busy and wonderful last week with lots of chances to spend time with friends and the next two days while be just as wonderful as we continue to celebrate Christmas here with our 'adopted' family. Santa Claus arrives for Kealy and I tonight and tomorrow morning we are going to open our Christmas gifts from family and each other. We hope the anticipation and excitement of Christmas is reaching your hearts as well. After our second feast it was cold walking home so we decided to skip the rest of the way. It was fun, but we forgot we were extremely full and hadn't exercised in four months!!! Have a great day...talk to you soon.
Sincerely,
Ryan and Kealy Thorson
