A Family Christmas in Hong Kong

On the morning of December 21st we left the womb of the Celebrity Millennium and were met at the cruise ship terminal by our son-in-law Nash and our son, Brad. Brad and his family had flown over to spend the Christmas holiday with our daughter’s family.

We drove out to Lobster Bay (near Clearwater Bay Road) and had a great reunion with our daughter and her children Quinn (age 6) and Conner (age 4) and our son’s two children, Brody (age 6) and Bennett (age 3). Since Christa’s house was packed to the gunnels with kids we stayed at a friend’s house nearby where it was a little quieter.

Rather than give a running narrative of all the the next two week’s activities, we’ll let the photos and captions tell the story.
Exploring the back streets of Sai Kung with the grandkids.
Bowling at the state of the art Tikitiki Bowling Alley in Sai Kung. Nash showed us all what real bowling looked like.
Mimi (Meryl) spent lots of time reading to the grandkids (here with Brody and Conner).
I spent one of the best times with my son Brad golfing at the Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club. Thanks so much to Nash for hosting us at this amazing golf course.
Cousins Brody and Quinn got to attend golf camp at the Clearwater Bay Club.
Christa, Melba and the family put together an incredible Christmas Eve dinner.
Lots of energy with these kids (L to R Brody, Conner, Quinn and Bennett).
All the family together for the first time in years.
Bennett, Quinn, Brody, and Conner in their Christmas pajamas.
A family tradition:  Bobba (Walter) reading The Night Before Christmas to the grandkids.
The most wonderful noise in the world: young children waking up on Christmas morning.


Star Wars action figures seem to be the thing this Christmas.
We babysat the grandkids to give the parents a bit of well deserved time off. Quinn orchestrated a wedding between a Star Wars trooper and a American Girl doll.
