Wow, the holidays flew by with no blog posts. I’ve been using the blog as a digital baby book of sorts for Jia Li, so I need to catch up!
So we had Christmas presents to open that Jia Li and the cats really enjoyed.
We waited until Christmas evening to do this. So Jia Li was a tad tired, but she still enjoyed opening the gifts. It didn’t slow Merv down. He went crazy with the tissue paper.
The next day Jia Li had just as much fun playing with her new gifts, plus she had the smiles going. She received a lot of books, which was great. We have yet to make it through an entire book, but Jia Li loves flipping through the pages! Whoever suggested that adding book reading into your toddler’s bedtime routine was never around an active baby like Jia Li.
As most of you known, we don’t send out holiday greeting cards. Perhaps some day I will actually have time to do this. Maybe when Jia Li is 16. In the meantime, please know that all our friends and family are always in our thoughts, regardless of whether its the holiday season or not. 
Yay – I’ve been waiting for the next post!
Love seeing her sparkling smile and reading about what you are up to. Thanks for sharing these updates.
