COOKIE MAKING

We had a busy day of cookie making today.  We love our new aprons form Miss "K"!  Thanks you!
The egg roll decided that the cookie tins make great drums as well.  We also had a fun Skype call with our friends R and K.  The egg roll talked about it all day!  Let's talk again soon!  Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the finished products.

Happenings.....

Eubie has been busy too!
A quote from the egg roll:" I have a story for you!" Me: "OK"
the egg roll: "I am not a snack, I am the gingerbread boy, catch me if you can"
SMILE!

Our visit with HoHo


We had a short conversation with HoHo today.  The egg roll asked for 'toys' this year. The frog....well... she said 'surprises'.  The vol felt like he was 'too old' to sit on Santa's lap.  He wouldn't even agree to be in the picture.  Ah, how they grow up before your eyes.

My handsome nephew/Godson!


We were so excited to have a visitor!  My nephew came to visit for the day and of course, a game of basketball was in the cards!
A fun time was had by all!  Thanks for the visit 'P'... see you in Yunnan!  

Adoption Bug

We love the Adoption Rocks t-shirt from www. Adoption Rocks . com!
It was also super special that the Chinese flag could be inserted in the middle!

A Little Christmas Joy

In the midst of a busy evening doing homework, cooking dinner, and a game of hide and seek, we received a most precious Christmas present.  Low and behold, we were able to glance at our daughter half way around the world!  We were all overwhelmed and began analyzing every detail in every picture.  She is beautiful and we are beyond blessed.
She needs a family to put a smile on that little face of hers. We are totally in love already!
