Well, there isn't much to report for today. The O'Rourkes seemed to sleep better last night waking up at 7:00 but the Morrows had an early morning (waking at 3 and 5am). We met for breakfast around 9:00 and took our time in the restaurant knowing that we didn't really have anything planned for the day.
After breakfast we went back to our suite and just hung out reading and playing on various computers - Andrew of course watching train videos. After a few hours, Laurie's parents decided to return to their room to take a nap. Laurie thought that sounded like a good idea for the 2 with colds so she and Andrew took naps too. John took a walk down to the mall to check out the food court to see if they had any pizza we could eat for dinner and then returned to take a nap too. After about 3 hours (yes, Andrew must be both jet lagged and not feeling well for him to take a 3 hour nap!) everyone woke up hungry for dinner. With help from the front desk (to know how to order it), John walked back over to the mall and ordered us pizza.
After dinner, Andrew played with his trains a little bit and then we got a Skype call from John's sister Kim and her girls. We talked with them for a little bit and then decided to put on a movie and play a game. Bup Bup thought it would be a good idea to teach Andrew how to play "Go Fish". We played 5 games and Andrew loved it! Instead of saying "Go Fish" he said "Gold Fish" and won 4 out of 5 games.
Earlier this afternoon, we received a call from Val saying that he was going to pick us up at 8:20 to go get Baby Girl out of the orphanage. So, it looks like we will have her out by 11am - meaning it will really be 12/24 at home!
We are currently all ready for bed and listening to Andrew's recordable book of Nini reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Ready for a big day tomorrow!!
Merry Christmas eve!!
