Thursday, November 25, 2010 HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We have so much to be thankful for today! So much. This Thanksgiving will always stand out in all of our hearts. Jing Yan (Lauren) is amazing. Seriously, amazing. For the loss this little girl has endured, she is so strong. There are moments where I see the sadness in her heart. And there are quiet moments when she cries, but for the most part, she is true to how she was described to us- PURE SUNSHINE. She is awesome. She is goofy. And silly. And she happens to have the best laugh. She ADORES her brothers and sister. And her Ayi. She goes equally with Michael and I. She yells with glee when we return, even if from the bathroom. She loves to eat. She loves to laugh. She loves to color. She loves to play. And talk on her princess phone. She loves to push the elevator buttons and say hello and goodbye to everyone she sees. The BEST comment she made to our guide, Shirley is "No one COOKS in this family!" We laughed so hard. You just wait little one till we get home! :) We have fallen head over hills in love with this bundle of love. If you are reading this and are considering adopting, DO IT. I cannot scream it more loudly. Your life will never be the same once touched by the sweet little life of another child. Ok. Photos. Tonight we are going to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Well. Ok. We are having Pizza and waffle fries from Pizza Hut and Craisins. Hey- there are cranberries and potatoes. That is the best we can do! :) We leave tomorrow for Guangzhou. All of us are really looking forward to seeing our travel group again. It has been lonely here a bit!! Happy Happy Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends and family- we love you!! Eat some stuffing for me.
