Bus mom...

Kay told me today on the walk home that she has a new bus mom. I asked her if she is nice and her response was "I don't know". I was curious and asked why she didn't know. Kay responds "I don't understand what she says". When I asked for clarification Kay's answer was she speaks Mandarin. The childhood honesty made me smile. Of course she doesn't know if she is nice if she can't understand her!

Family Photos...

Our little Angel...

Kay had her Christmas play at school this week.  She was SO excited to have Craig and I both come to visit her.  She was an angel in the play.  She did great and this time was much braver!  She actually sang and participated.  We were so proud of our little girl.  I admit, we were a little slack on the costume front.  They told us we needed a costume right when Marissa was born.  The last thing on our mind was finding the perfect Angel costume.  We made do with what we had around the house!

Kiss...

Kay is very cute when leaving for school.  She first kisses me goodbye, gives Marissa a kiss, and then runs to the Christmas tree and kisses the tree goodbye.  Someone is excited about Christmas!

First Bottle...

Marissa got her first bottle!  She did great and ate about 3 ounces.  Afterwards, Kay wanted to give her baby a bottle.  Kay and her daddy "fed" and "burped" her baby too.

Decorating our Christmas Tree...

We are entering our apartment building's christmas tree decorating contest.  The best part is they provide the tree so we did not have to mess with trying to find a tree here.  Kay painted ornaments and she and her daddy picked out lights from IKEA.  She had a blast helping!

We took this great family photo (or so we thought until we downloaded it).  We realized we cut off Marissa's head (oops!) and tried again.  As you can see, the second attempt Kay was NOT interested in cooperating.  Oh well...we tried!
