Christmas Happenings...

What a wonderful Christmas vacation we have had so far! We have been busy celebrating with our friends and family and have had such a good time.

The first weekend we went to my parent's house. My brother and his family and my sister and her family were also there. We had a good time! 

Karleigh Mei got a Kai Lan doll from Grandma. She loves her and has been sleeping with her every night.

On the 22nd of December, our good friends had a Christmas party at their house. Here, Aunt Stephanie is tell the story of the birth of Jesus.

They also made a birthday cake for Jesus! 

We sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and Karleigh Mei got to blow out the candle! She's excellent at blowing out candles. ;)

On the 23rd was Katie's 23rd birthday! She had to work, so Lexie and I went to be with her. My sister Sarah also met us there. We had a good time. Darn it if these were the only pictures I took! I wonder if Sarah  has any more?? Sarah??

Blowing out her candles. It was too bad Karleigh Mei wasn't here, she could have helped Katie out.

Christmas Eve, Karleigh Mei got a super, special package from her best friend from China. Shayna sent her a pretty new nightgown! Shayna must know Karleigh Mei really well, 'cause she loves this nightgown so very much! She begs to put this nightgown on way before it's time to go to bed.

Christmas Eve we also decorated some cookies for Santa.

Just a little lick. Santa won't mind.

Labor of Love going on in the garage on Christmas Eve.

Christmas morning, Karleigh Mei was delighted to find lots of wonderful things! This is her pretty doll she named Kishi ('cause she looks like a friend of Lexie's named, Kishi..of course!).

The ONLY thing Karleigh Mei was asking for for Christmas was a pretty heart necklace. Here she is showing off her necklace.

Modeling in front of her new kitchen!

How many times before we adopted Karleigh Mei, did I dream of this sleeping beauty in the back of my Suburban? Here's my darling girl on her way to MiMi and PawPaw's house for Christmas celebration.

Tonight we are going BACK to our friend's house for more celebrating! 


See you next year!!!!
