The Olympics!

Finally the night arrived. We are always excited to watch the opening ceremony but tonight was special!

I sat there with tears streaming down my face as I watched my daughter watch the opening ceremony. I thought she would be so bored but she was cheering and smiling saying "China" over and over and pointing to the people saying "Chinese like Annslee?" LOVE IT!!

The strangest thing that has happened was when they were singing the Chinese National Anthem she was standing in front of the TV swaying and singing...the words weren't really the words but it was kind of freaky! I asked her is she knew the song and she said yes : )

She also is screamed fireworks a lot!!! She did enjoy naming everyone she knows who is Chinese too (that took a while LOL) and she was so cute as the parade of countries happened. When the US marched in she said "mine team" and then when China came in she announced "mine team too" : ) When Vietnam came in I asked if that was her little brother's team and she said "no, China love Annslee big sister" Well ok then!




The top pick made me laugh..is she concentrating that hard or something : )





This is the hat we brought back to Gigi from Beijing. We called it the albatrose the entire trip as it had to be carried by hand at each airport : P



I hope you all enjoyed! She will be a bear tomorrow as she refused to go to bed and watched till the end. Can you believe how awesome the whole thing was!

WOW...Anslee stayed awake for the whole thing? Sophie turned in by choice only about half way thru....she could barely keep her eyes open.

It was such an amazing opening ceremony! How will any country ever be able to top that? It was gorgeous! I was so proud of China! They truly shined last night!!

We slept in so late today, as we stayed up for the whole thing. I couldn't take my eyes off of it for one second. It was truly amazing and something that I will never forget.

How precious was the little boy who was walking with Yao Ming???

I am so proud our girls come from such a wonderful country.

Annslee looks adorable in her red, white and blue. Heck, Annslee looks adorable in anything : )

Wow! The Tongginator fell asleep on the couch about half-way thru. It was so amazing, I don't know how she feel asleep. LOL.

Maybe we should have given her a leotard to wear. That seemed to work for y'all.
