Merry Christmas ~ 2012

We’re enjoying the holiday season living closer to family and friends.  Pamela and the girls kicked off the season with their tradition of attending the Nutcracker for Pamela’s birthday. The girls also attended their first musical, Annie.

Christmas break started with parties at school for both girls. The girls then headed downtown to spend the weekend with our “Xuzhou Family”. Five families from Atlanta, Charlotte and Cookeville gathered our Xuzhou born (and other adopted children) in downtown Chattanooga to enjoy the holiday festivities. We kicked off the weekend with a train trip to the North Pole. Santa was on board to great all the kids and elves handed out cookies and milk. Back at the hotel, the kids enjoyed swimming while the parents caught up on each other’s live. On Saturday, we headed to the discovery museum for the afternoon. All the kids played so well together and fun was had by all.
Nana, Jeff, Danielle and Lillian spent Christmas with us and the cousins stayed up late playing with all their new toys.
Happy Holidays!
