So Noah is turning 10 on Friday and he's half way around the world from his friends. He won't even get much of a celebration on his actual day, as we will be flying from Beijing to Xining in the morning. We did have some Mongolian hotpot on Wednesday with our longstanding Beijing friends and their daughter Hua Dun (who is also 10). If you look closely, you can see that each person has their own cooking pot (with either a salty chicken broth or a spicier soup) in front of them. On the table are various meats, tofu, vegetables, noodles and shrimp. Each person grabs what they want and puts it in their pot to cook. Fish it out when ready and eat; simple as that. I think the kids liked it a lot.When we came home Wednesday night, the kids got to have a dance with their mom and jump on the bed. (No more monkeys jumping on the...) Then tonight, Thanksgiving night, Noah had a cake and he even wore the pink crown which Char got for him at the bakery. He's a good kid!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of Anna, Rosa and Noah's friends!

Happy birthday Noah! I am sorry I have not been able to write to you lately. I went to Wisconsin because my grandma was sick and pasted away the Monday before thanksgiving.I got to see all my cousins and got to meet some of my cousins grandparents. We had the visitation on Friday,the funeral Saturday,and the burial on Sunday. We left the Saturday before thanksgiving. It was a really crazy week last week.I hope your week has not been so crazy. Hope you are still having fun in china!
sincerely,
Sarah Stone
