A little Christmas in Suzhou
I surprised Gaoping with a wreath and a couple of stockings. She marked them so Santa knows which gets the English goodies and which the Chinese :)
The snowman came from a vendor and I thought he looked good in the wreath.
We also had fun Sunday night making chocolate chip cookies again. I used the Tollhouse recipe on the back of the bag, but they are more cakelike than I remember when I made them in the US. Maybe it's the foreign margarine and imported flour. Perhaps the eggs. I dunno. They still tasted good, though, even if we did bake them on a pizza pan.
I wanted to make the chocolate chip + oatmeal recipe, but we had no baking powder. I think it's fairly easy to find, so maybe I'll do those next time.

I showed the pic of GP to Jordan and she says "Click it, I want to watch!" Too many web videos for her ya think?
