Lily Mei's first Christmas was a wonderfully joyous day for us all. The snow fell all night, and the reindeer and sleigh tracks were clearly visible on the roof in the morning.
Watching Lily experience each new moment was so exciting and emotional. Her delight in the smallest of things reminded us of how much we take for granted. With Mom and Dad, Nana, and Eric and Rachael, Lily Mei had a great time opening her gifts. As she tore the wrapping paper off each box, she looked up and asked... "What is this?" What a difference over what she must have experienced last year on December 25th in the orphanage.

Merry Christmas Week!!!
"What's this?" Adorable! ;)
Loving the cookie decorating and shopping and so jealous of your snow.
I love looking at your blog! Lily is just adorable. I love the photos of her making the snowman and cookies. She has a look like, "Come on over here big guy. I have quite a list this year!" when she was sitting on Santa's lap. What a transformation from when we first met her in May. I'll never forget sitting in the hallway in Nanjing playing with our babies. What an amazing journey-and so much more yet to come....
Happy Holidays!
The Johnson Family
