We had a great holiday weekend together! We did so many things together as a family! We enjoyed so many enjoyable moments together that will be remembered. We made "homemade" cookies to take to nana Myrt's for Thanksgiving... well, about as "homemade" as I get these days is break them off and put the little squares on an ungreased cookie tray. But Shasha is happy... We also continued with our radition of adding to our Christmas wreath made of little Shasha hands. Every Thanksgiving for the past 3 years we trace Shasha's little hands and create a row onto our wreath. It is neat to see Shasha's hand size change each year! This year was extra special because Shasha actually traced and "cut" out one of her own handprints all by herself! I displayed it at the top of the wreat and highlighted it in gold glitter!
We also decorated our Christmas trees a bit early this year. There are 4... 5 counting the undecorated pink feather tree in Shasha's bedroom. Our large living room tree is hot pink, lime green and turquoise with bright white Moravian star lights this year. Very different but I saw the colors while out shopping and had to have them! We also have a Disney tree, a tree decorated with handmade beaded ornaments and one that is Shassha's and displays all of her own little crafty ornaments.
My mom and dad took Shasha to swimming lessons on Saturday so that we could go get our Fingeprints completed for our Taiwan adoption. Our appointment was at noon but we left early because we weren't sure where the Philly USCIS office moved. We were in and out by the time our appointment rolled around. I wouldn't say that the office is convenient... afterall it was an hour and a half drive but it sure was better than going to center city Philly!
And I almost forgot about Shasha's gingerbread house made of foam! It was messy but came out very nice. Shasha really enjoys being crafty. She would much rather have something that she can DO than something she can play with! I sure hope Santa is listening.
Also, Nancy bought Shasha a beautiful winter coat. Shasha looks so grown up in it and Oh so beautiful.
This has been a Thanksgiving holiday worth celebrating!
