Here is our Christmas Tree .... it's doesn't look too bad after it's near fatal "nose dive" across the coffee table.

A few bulbs lost their lives, but nothing sentimental !

Phew .....

It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our home up until about 2 hours ago ......

and then .......

look at what happened ...........

I swear , I was hanging the LAST bulb and it toppled over !



It's a good thing I like Christmas ........:)

27 days til I hold my girl !

We are getting close to "Gotcha Day".

First we have to celebrate Christmas though.

Today we chopped down our tree and brought it home.

We are letting it defrost as I post.

It was cold today .......Brrrrr .....

Where is the time going ?

This month is going to be hectic.

Christmas is in 23 days and I have yet to finish shopping, we have a big gang coming to stay with us for Christmas and we leave for China a month from Tuesday.

We met with our doctor yesterday and obtained a px. for Zithromax and Cipro. We also visted the travel clinic on Wedneday and got the rest of our shots.

J.P had one and I had two (ouch).

Time to start packing !

I have surfed so many packing lists and have chosen the packing list that will work for us ( I hope).



JP and I will have only one day in Beijing before we board a plane for Changsha to meet Alyana the afternoon of the 8th of January. We,therefore, have to be as organized as possible as we don't want to be half way around the world rearranging suitcases at the last moment. We plan on packing suitcases to leave in Beijing and then take the rest to Changsha.

Oh my goodness, we almost have her !!
