A big stocking for a a little girl who is now sleeping in a big girl bed.....
Jason and I took this picture christmas morning. We were both wide awake @ 5:30and stayed in bed until 6. Then I was itching to wake her up. I am a big kid @ heart, so of I went to wake her. She was sleeping so peacefully and soon as I told her that santa was here, she was out of bed. God I love this little girl.
Her she is half asleep still, opening her stocking. She was so excited she couldn't even get the wrapping paper off.
She was content with 1 train she had opened and these wonderful things......SMARTIES..
giving baba his stocking
giving mama her stocking...look at that expression
Every adoptive parent that reads this will know the how important these shoes are when I tell you they are squeaky shoes from China. When we met Wang Feng Yan in Hohhot, in the Sheraton hotel lobby, she was wearing red squeaky shoes. She loves them is very sad that they are now to small. I had another friend who just travelled to China, bring these home. She is very happy!
I saw this game on a website and I read the instructions. I thought it sounded like a fun game but it was for 5 year old. It's called Runaway Log. I am so glad i bought it, she loves it!We have played it endlessly since she opened it. It's really fun!
She got lots more trains to go with her Thomas set. She loves her Thomas trains....

These are presents that I had all my daycare kids make for their parents. The red bulb has Madisyn's hand print on it, then I painted the fingers up like snowmen. The bulb belongs with the card. This is what the card says:
These aren't just five snowmen
As anyone can see
I made them with my hand
Which is apart of me
Each year when you trim the tree
You will look back and recall
Christmas of 2012
When my hand was just this small
Jason was in tears, and was speechless. She is growing so fast, we are trying to capture things as a reminder.
The bulb!
her doll house
The strider bike,put together, she loves it
on her new bike
our little girl
