We are DTC!!!! (and other tid bits)

We are officially DTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are soooo excited! Friday morning around 6:00 a.m I was down stairs in the living room doing my Bible study. I could hear little foot steps coming down the stairs, then Miss Olivia came around the corner with her blanket over her head ( this is an every morning ritual, she covers her head with her blanket, we pretend to be scared, she takes the blanket off and says " its just me! Olivia!" and we say "Ohhhh you scared us!") she crawled up in my lap. I told her we were going to Pei Wei tonight for Chinese food to celebrate. She looked like she didn't remember Pei Wei so I told her it was the place with the chop sticks. She looked puzzled for a minute then she said " Oh, the place with the crackers". I was trying to figure out what in the world she was talking about when she said " you know, the sweet crackers with tags in em!" Sooooooo, sweet!
We put up our Christmas tree Friday as well. I know its 80 freaking ( freaking is not a curse word is it?) degrees but I figured it was a great way to celebrate being DTC! Victoria broke out the Christmas music ( of which she listens to ALL year!) and we got busy! We decided to make our smaller tree in the dining room a Chinese tree! We have decorated it with chop sticks and with some of those sweet crackers with tags in em! It is so cute! Victoria makes little ornaments with notes to Alexandra on them! one said " To my Chinese sister, good luck!" I love her so much, she is such a sweet girl! I told her the other day that we would try to visit China when Alexandra is older and she wanted to know if we could get another baby when we went!
