Wow, where does the time go?

I know I am a Mom of a 2-year old, but I can't believe that 2 months has past and I have not posted any pictures of Ms. Jada. I think the last postings were around Halloween. Since then, we have celebrated our first Gotcha Day together, Jada's second birthday, warm and sunny fall days and Thanksgiving, and then of course, the wonderful Christmas season. See below for pictures of our 2 birthday parties and other fun activies. I will catch up on Christmas pictures soon! (hopefully)

During the fall, Jada and I would take Annie for walks. 

Every fall, I plant 100+ tulips bulbs to enjoy in the spring. The day before Thanksgiving, I was finally able to get outside to plant the bulbs. Here is my little helper putting the bulbs into the holes.  

Another fun time to blow out birthday candles. The yummy ladybug cake was made by Nana Jackie. 

Birthday Party # 2 was a party for other friends to stop by and have Ice Cream and Cake. As you can see, Brennah, Jada and Olivia are enjoying the treats. All three of these girls came home to the states at the same time. Jada spends time with Brennah ever 3rd weekend while I work. Olivia is from the same place in China as Jada. 

Blowing out the candles! 

Birthday Party # 1 was a Ladybug Party with our Playgroup. For a November Day, the weather was perfect to go outside for a fun ladybug hunt!. Afterwards, we came back inside to do a ladybug craft with each of the girls' picture. It was a great party for a 2-year old, thanks to our special friend, Ms. Kristi. 

Gotcha Day First Anniversary was celebrated by going having Chinese Food Carry-Out with Charlene. Gotcha Day was November 7.
