Wednesday, December 15, 2010 Lots of excitement today! RED COUCH PHOTO DAY~ It is a tradition for families to have their children’s photos taken on the famous red couches at the White Swan Hotel. Today we traveled with our group to the US Consulate office in Guangzhou. We had a visa appointment for Evie and her citizenship oath-taking ceremony. We were not able to photograph this event because cameras are not allowed in the Consulate. Maddie was holding Evie during the oath ceremony and after the oath was given, Evie gave Amy and high 5…very cool! Evie will receive her passport and visa on Friday just before we travel to Hong Kong. Evie will become an official citizen of the United States when we touch down at O’Hare on Saturday. Our group ate at a very nice Chinese restaurant on the 3rd floor of the White Swan Hotel. We watched the chef make homemade noodles and everyone thought it was the best Chinese food they had eaten this week.

All dressed up! Evie on the red couch
