China Christmas

We love, love, love being able to spend time with other adoptive families and we were really looking forward to celebrating Christmas with a few of our very good friends.

Maelyn and Jennie adore one another and the bond that began in China has continued to grow over the past year and half. I am amazed at how close the two are and love the fact that they will always have that special bond with one another. Seeing them together warms my heart.

Madisyn is another special friend and Maelyn loves showing 'the baby' new things to play with around the house. Madisyn is nine months younger than Maelyn, but Maelyn is always patting her on the head and trying to tell her what to do - poor kid! Maelyn is always very excited to visit with her and we are so happy that Maelyn has such amazing friends.

The best part of setting up for the party -- testing the food!

Madisyn's favourite toy at our house...

Making Christmas bracelets...
Three little monkeys...

So cute!

Joad -- a big kid! :)


 Madisyn may be the youngest, but she is the strongest!
Look at Maelyn's face - haha!

I absolutely love her face when getting the huge push. Priceless.
