Snow Fun!!!

Meilin got to play in the snow for the first time today.....SHE LOVED IT! Good thing since she will get lots of it growing up here. All the kids had fun today. They were making what they called Coconut Snowballs. I am not sure what they have planned for them but I found them stored in our extra freezer tonight!

Late Night Bath

Meilin is still adjusting to the time here. She naps well and goes to bed at night, she just wakes up ready to play between 12 and 4am. Tonight we decided to get in a lavendar bubble bath to use up some enery and calm her down.

TaVaci Christmas concert!

The kids Tavaci (singing) concert was tonight. They did a great job, despite all the classes they missed with us gone and them sick. Melanie does such a great job with these kids. They have so much fun and absolutely love going.

December 11-13th

Yes, after being home exactly 1 week we packed up and headed out again. Madison had a Cheer competition and we went to stay at Grandma's. We had a great time! We also were able to celebrate Grandpa's birthday while we were there. Jodie's family was all together for that so everyone got to meet Meilin. Meilin is just happy to go along with the flow of things. She is so outgoing and happy that travelling to Grandma's and another large group of strangers did not bother her one bit.

Hailie and her baby came to the party, what a CUTIE! The little girls just loved him.

We are now officially a very large, maybe overwhelming, and messy house guest. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us come anyway! Hopefully by the time we come again the little girls will be sleeping through the night.

Madison's Cheer Squad did awesome, hoping to get a video on here with its own post soon!

Chinese Christmas Party

Tonight was our local Families with Children from China Christmas dinner. It was so fun to see everybody. Our group has welcomed 3 new kids this fall, 2 new families.

The rest of the evening was spent playing around with some more Chinese toys. Have I mentioned how much Meigan LOVES playing with Madison since we returned home?

Aisley's Baby Blessing

Mark and Jaylynn's daughter, Aisley, had her baby blessing today. Somehow we didn't manage to get a picture of the proud parents with her so this one of Aisley with Great Grandma will have to do. She looked soooo cute and slept through the whole thing!

We slept in late again, and Madison and Dalton thought they were not supposed to wake us. We nearly missed the entire thing. Luckily they had sympathy on us and started a little late. Sorry guys!
