I've a bit of catching up to do:
The day after that saw a special event going on at the Claremont train station, just five minutes away from us. We saw a specially decorated Christmas train, replete with Christmas lights, (fake) reindeer, Santa and Mrs Claus, a snowman and some pirates. We brought some new toys to donate to the toy drive that they were running.
K's very busy with school - it is crunch time; he has presentations and projects and exams in the next couple of weeks. We've had to entertain ourselves somehow. Colouring is the activity of choice nowadays, especially for E. She loves it. I got them a big Diego colouring book and lots of crayons, so that's been fun for them.
In other news, K and I had Prima Taste's mee goreng for dinner tonight. So far this has been the least authentic, although that isn't to say that we didn't enjoy it. We welcomed the spicy-ness of it, especially since today's been a cold day - it's been raining all day. It hardly rains in Southern California (I think today's the third day that we've seen rain in all our months here), so when it does, it's a bit of a shock to the system.
The day after we drove down to Pasadena to show the kids snow, we went to Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga to have a look at their 40-ft tall Christmas tree. This being Southern California, it warmed up enough for us to need some ice-cream to cool off.
