New Year's Eve

This is late but wanted to post it anyway. We didn't do anything major as we prefer to stay home. This didn't stop Annslee from dressing in her holiday best LOL



Coby also decided to get festive by trying to eat his foot



I thought I'd get a pic of them together on NYE in front of the tree...well Coby didn't agree with my plan!


Our neighbor's got home from China with their daughter Wendi in November and they came over to visit with us


Wendi's mom took a turn holding Coby

He loved playing with the girls



Wendi had never done "dress up" but Annslee was happy to show her how!


She also introduced her to the joy of watching "Tink*erbell" It was really funny b/c her English is coming along and she would literally repeat everything Annslee said. At home, her Dad speaks only English to her and her mom speaks only Mandarin~ She sweetly calls Annslee JieJie all the time.


Annslee really wanted to watch the ball drop but this is how she looked at 11:45~ soooo close!

I hope you all had a safe and happy new year!! I know 2008 was rough for many and we all had our ups and downs. For our family two wonderful things happened this year~ Coby was born and he came home with us and for those things we are grateful. I hope 2009 has many belssings in store for all of us!

I love A's new years outfit. Wow....I am sure that Daddy is hoping that she loses her fashion touch before her teen years!! LOL!!

I love Annslee showing Wendi the "ropes" of what it takes to be a fashionable young lady!!

And Coby?? Well, are there words? He is the cutest little man!!!!

Love the second picture of Coby with his foot. What a CUTE smile he has. And it looks like the two girls had a great time together.

Can't believe that Annslee made it to 11:45!
