Australia & New Zealand Vacation

The next several posts are pictures of our 2010 Christmas holiday. We decided to take a 2 week cruise around Australia and New Zealand. We went with two other families - the Tavernas and the Gaylords. This was an incredible experience for us. We cruised on the Diamond Princess and have really good memories from the trip.

Christmas in Shanghai

We celebrated an early "cyber" Christmas with many of our relatives. Thanks to all for sending packages and meeting up with us online.

December weather was beautiful and we were able to get some great pictures of the kids.

Christmas Kindl - Paulandar

One of our Christmas traditions in Shanghai is to go to the Christkindl market at the Fengyang Paulaner for dinner and shopping. A big group joined us this year including the Hayes, Gaylords, Kellermans, Stevens, Morses, and Uhls. The kids have a great time playing together.
