Our First CNY Together

Last year my niece and I went to a big FCC banquet. There were 600 people there (and another 600 on another night) and lots of entertainment with lion dancers, acrobats, and the Miss China Town court. This year I felt that I needed to do something on a smaller scale with Miss Abbey. Someday we will do the big hoopala but for now it was more important for me to have things a little quieter and closer to home. We invited several adoptive and waiting families to join us at a local Chinese restaurant for dinner. It was really nice to just be with the people who have meant so much to me through this whole process. Abbey got more and more excited as the evening wore on and by the time we were coming home for her bath she was a little wild and running around stomping. I think she really enjoys a good party. And my, she can really pack away the Chinese food.














Two friends who meant the world to me during the loooooooooooooong wait (I know it's nothing compared to those of you waiting now). It almost doesn't seem real that I finally have my girl and am not just looking dreamy eyed at their girls like I was for so long. We are all so blessed.
