Even though we are still a bit displaced, we had a fabulous time celebrating Gabi's birthday. With Juvy's fantastic help and grandpa's amazing assistance, we came home from work, and a cake had already been baked. And Gabi got to open lots of her presents. We could tell the difficulties of having the tree -- with all the presents underneath it, and then Gabi's presents piled on the side. Her older brother definitely wanted to open some of HIS presents too. Especially if we end up celebrating Christmas for one side of the family early -- due to vacation plans, it will be a challenge to reserve a special time for Gabi.
Gabi even got an additional little surprise, when two days later, we retrieved her special present from Auntie Carrie from our house. (Access to our house is still a bit limited due to one way traffic.) How exciting to have a HORSEY music box that is also a jewelry box. Now Gabi only has to protect the great gift from her younger sister -- who also loves playing with it.

Once again it appears that the Woodward family is totally lacking in "adventures" since they celebrated Christmas early in KL.
