Life as a Family of Four.....: Christmas

We were playing outside one day, trying to keep ourselves awake so we can get back on this time zone. We are all so jet legged. I can't seem to stay awake past 7:30. Miss Diva and weeman seem to be doing better then us old folks.

Weeman loves outside, he isn't so sure about all the clothing he is wearing and he isn't a fan of hats. He is so short, he is about 2 inches shorter than what Miss Diva was coming home but his temper sure makes up for it.

I think he was a little spoiled in china. If we tell him he needs to come or wait a sec or if his water is all gone, he squeezes his fists and starts shaking.

He is doing very well. He is eating well and every night, sleeping is getting better. Most night though, he cries for mama in his sleep and pulls on the blankets and cries. My heart is so bruised and broken, that I cry for him. He misses Zhangjiagang CWI, he was their treasure and I know he is greatly missed there.

We had all our decorations and wrapping done before we left. It just doesn't seem like Christmas this year. In China, they don't celebrate Christmas, so the built up to the big day was missing. Coming home to no snow hasn't help and we are to tired to enjoy going anywhere.

We had a quite day home with just the four of us and it was nice to take our time and open presents. Weeman got it quickly and was so happy with his new toys.

Miss Diva was very excited about Santa coming. She could hardly wait to leave cookies and milk and go to bed.

One of my daycare parents delivered this arrangement for us. it's so nice to have people think of you. In my field, most people seem greedy or something. Drives me a little crazy somedays.

I think this is beautiful!

The kids stockings. I couldn't find a stocking to make with Miss Diva's M on it, so I got Y for Yan Yan. her Chinese nickname.

She was so excited to see that santa had already been to our house and he knew that she loves hello Kitty.
