Decorating the Tree!!

There are so many thing I want to write about, but I am just going to keep it simple.

These last few weeks have been super busy!
Yesterday was my last day of class. I have 5 finals and then I am a student teacher! : )
This semester went by so quickly!

As we decorated the tree, I couldn't help but think of the orphans. As tears filled my eyes, I felt the longing again... I wish that each of God's little ones could have a family to celebrate with. Compassion International sent me a kit to advertise their program to my youth group. It came with 6 pictures of children who are supported by people in the US. I've posted their pictures on the refrigerator to remind me... I don't ever want to forget.

This Christmas is so unique! My perspective is brand new.
While many people are fighting over toys, numerous little ones lack basic necessities.
I am definitely not trying to be negative; it's just that China changed everything for me.

My heart is overflowing... I am so overwhelmed that this is our first Christmas with Wei-J.
He is still the most amazing young man I have ever met! I never knew that my heart could expand to love someone, whom I just met a few months ago, so fully. I am so proud to be his auntie, (Ayi!!!). Also, I am grateful that we get the chance to be such a big part of his life.
I just want him to grow up and know that he is loved by many.

The first ornament! Hand crafted by orphans from Tianjin.
Their Beautiful faces flood my memories. They were so excited to say "Thank You" in English.

Getting Closer...Hubs always gets to put the star on top, (It's a tall person job)

Yeah, I'm so blessed. We have the best time laughing together!

Don't forget Marty!

I love my family!
