Our sweet adoptive friends hosted a fantastic Mid-Autumn Moon Festival party at their beautiful home last night. This was the first Chinese celebration that Ruby was home with us for and it was so special to celebrate with her. It was also the first time she wore her pretty dress we bought her in China- she was so sweet! She loves to go places and loves new experiences- she is actually happier when we are doing these things- so she had a great time! So did the other kids- I vividly remember being at this same celebration last year and just staring at the other little baby girl that came home from China a year before we went and imagining what it would be like the following year when I had my little one in my arms. I do that a lot since we have been home. It is such a dream that she is here now- we can't believe how lucky we are to have her as part of our family. It was definitely more special for our older kiddos to have their baby sister at this festival too. They doted on her and wanted her to be part of all the activities. We are so fortunate to have met this supportive group of adoptive families in our town. I don't know what I would do without them- I look forward to watching all of the little ones grow and thrive... and hopefully there will be more families that join the group as the years go by!
