Coming to America Parties

January 18th marked our "Gotcha Day" in China. However, we actually celebrated the day we were "home" in a couple of "Coming to America" parties.

We celebrated the first one in Anna's Kindergarten classroom. We brought our scrapbook album loaded with lots of China pictures and also some souvenirs to show her classmates. We had an interesting Q&A time as well, as you can imagine with 5/6 year olds :) We topped it off with mini cupcakes that I made in the shape/colors of the American flag, cookies and juice. We enjoyed getting to share with the kids where Anna is from and a little bit about her birth country.

And then on January 30th, the official "WE'RE HOME~in AMERICA" day, we celebrated after church with friends and family at the Chef Lin Chinese Buffet. They have the widest selection of Chinese food around here, and some American food as well to satisfy the finicky eaters. Our friends and family have been so supportive of us throughout this whole experience, and have made our lives alot easier over the past year through many different circumstances. We thank them for their love, friendship, and support!
