Another Christmas and Touring Chengdu

Brynn got to enjoy a second Christmas the morning after Grandaddy and Granna arrived.

Brynn loves her new baby doll. We believe she has named her Nay Nay. She loves dressing her, feeding her and washing her hair.

Grandaddy got Brynn her very own camera. It really takes pictures that she can view on the screen and we can upload them to the computer. I'll have to post some of the shots she has taken. My favorite is of the one she got when Granna fell asleep on the couch.

 Brynn is taking her "tack tack" (backpack) and new books to her room.  She has enjoyed all of her new books. Thank you to all who sent her books. 

Wednesday we took the public bus to the center of town. My dad almost learned the hard way that just because you are getting off of a bus in the "bus lane" doesn't mean you will not get taken out by a scooter. Dad thinks the handlebars even touched him. After safely getting off the bus we walked around Tianfu Square.

 

 We enjoyed a delicious lunch at one of my favorite places to eat, the Sultan, which serves Turkish food. We got a variety of items from hummus to meatballs. It was delicious and we all left stuffed.

 Matt introduced my dad to his favorite breakfast of an egg pancake. Matt stops by this vendor almost every morning on his way to school. Dad has enjoyed this breakfast, but it is a little too greasy for Mom and me.

One night we went to Jinli Street, an ancient road in Chengdu. We enjoyed walking around and snacking on food sold by vendors and browsing through the shops.

My Mom's favorite food was the pineapple rice and Matt enjoyed something called a chicken pizza. We also ate spring rolls, meat on a stick and Blizzards from Dairy Queen.
