Happy Halloween!!!

While Halloween is not celebrated here in Melaka, we didn't want Evan to miss out on the opportunity of at least getting to dress up. Actually, I think it was more fun for me and Andrew to dress him up and then have a good laugh.....especially when he couldn't figure out where his hands had disappeared to!!! It is a shame they don't celebrate the event here because I'm sure Evan would have had tons of fun at least seeing the other kids dress up and handing out candy....since he is still too little to have gone trick or treating anyhow. I thought everyone might like to have a look at our little green dinosaur!!

We do have a Christmas bazaar to attend in KL next weekend, so at least he'll get an early glimpse of jolly ol' St. Nick. Yes, it's probably a bit early to start getting into the Christmas mood, but we'll take it!! They don't do much here in Melaka for Christmas either, so we have to get it when/where we can. I think we'll probably also travel to Singapore sometime next month to get some more Christmas feel....they say they do a great display of lights on Orchard Street and have a snow blowing machine at one of the malls where we grocery shop . It's a little hard to think about winter when it's 90 degress everyday. We are definitely looking forward to some chilly air when we travel to Oklahoma for Christmas. We'll be going to Laredo first, but I'm almost positive the weather there will feel much like it does here. I remember one Christmas sitting outside in nearly 80 degree heat on Christmas day!! I'd really like to be able to wear a coat....and have a nice, cup of hot chocolate!!!! Ahhhh...the things I miss the most right now!! We are actually in monsoon season right now, so we get a little bit of rain everyday and it stays pretty cloudy....and we've even had a few cool breezes now and again (cool is relative here!!). Although, it definitely has been a nice relief from the constant heat!! Evan and I even took an evening walk yesterday and it actually felt like we were back in Houston in the fall.

Anyhow, I'll be sure and get some pics on the blog of our bug when he meets Santa Claus for the first time next weekend..... wonder how he is going to react?!?!?!

Oh and by the way, I've changed the blog template to include a place at the bottom of each post for you to add comments or send us an email....we'd love to hear from you!! We miss everyone terribly and can't wait to see everyone at Christmas!!!
