First Pony Tails

Meilin and Kailei are the same age in these pictures. They were also modeling their first pony tails. They look alike and the are both oh so cute!! Love these girls!

First Snow

First snow of the season! Both girls thought it would be fun to walk in the snow before church in their patent leather shoes! Meilin kept saying,"COLD!" Kailei was a bit disappointed because there wasn't enough to go sledding on. Another first for my youngest baby!

Dancing Queen

Kailei has been dancing since she was 2 1/2 years old. She loves every minute of it! She has been on her Petite Dance Company for the past two years. Kailei competes in jazz and tap. This year she received a solo. This is her costume and she is dancing to the song, Sweet Old Fashion Girl! Perfect song for my girl! She is also required to take gymnastics at the studio. She is so flexible. For awhile she has been working on her back handsprings. Tonight she nailed it!! I think she did 5 in a row down the mat. Kailei was determined to get it and she never gave up. That's my girl!!

Oh Christmas Tree

We headed to the tree farm on Saturday to search for the perfect tree! It was chilly and windy but we ended up finding a beautiful tree! My dad cut it down and tied it to the car and we were off. Of course Kailei wanted to decorate it the minute we got home. The lights went on and then Meilin saw the round ornaments. She kept calling them balls. We put most of them out of her reach. She has been pretty good about leaving the ornaments on the tree and not playing with them. I attempted a photo shoot in their Chinse silks. Boy, it sure is hard to get a good smile from the two of them. I LOVE Christmas, always had. So excited to be celebrating this year with my two girls.

Friends

My friend Kelly and I were in China together picking up our daughters. The girls are only 4 months apart. Here they are modeling their adorable panda jammies and catching up on their reading. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful friends for life!

Cousins

The girls are so lucky to have their cousins in their lives. They enjoy their company and they love them so much!! These pictures were taken the day after Thanksgiving. We all go back to mom and dad's house for leftovers and a holiday movie. Meilin sleeps soundly at my parent's house which is helpful when we stay late. I am able to wake her up and drive her home and she goes right back to sleep.

Rub a Dub Dub

Once Meilin is taken out of her crib for the morning and she drinks her milk, she shivers and shivers. Instead of filling up the tub I decided to see if she fits in the kitchen sink. Sure enough, she does!! She LOVES sitting in there and playing. She warms up quickly and is happy, happy, happy! What a nice way to start off the day!
