Party On!

..... till you get a fever of 102.8.

Huh? Confused? Look at Milana's face. She wasn't hot yet but sure didn't look too happy. Dahlia must have been faking it 'cause it hit her about an hour after this picture. Both cherubs are in bed with Tempra in them.

I'll add a few more pictures of this Christmas party tomorrow (er.....today......it's late already).

Update:

Kids are better today but I kept Dahlia home from school (kicking and screaming lol) as she definately has a cold and we're encouraged not to spread our germs in school.

So....back to the party.

Despite the odd moment where words like "I don't want a sister" and "I want my Mommy back" spring forth from the mouth of the older sibling, more and more they are enjoying eachother.

Warms a Mama's heart.



Santa made an appearance again.

And again Milana...well.......freaked.

Anybody notice how the photographer missed us in the picture? Any guesses who took this picture? Come on....three guesses! Oh, you're good.....you only needed one!

Well.....I'm just sayin'.

:)

And to even the score, below is my test shot for our Christmas picture (with all subjects dutifully prepared) . Aren't they good?
(that's just a tease.......more to come.)

Poor little darlings. Hope they feel better soon. AH, I remember Tempra from my childhood days. Is it still green in color? I can almost remember the taste!!

Z has had a fever for the past two days already. She seems on the mend now... I hope! We don't have Tempra here, so she's been getting Ibupen.

Oh no. I hope they feel better soon. No one should be sick near Christmas.

The picture is great. You guys looked beautiful for the party!

Poor baby. i hope she feels better. there is so much going around and kids can be running around one minute and sick the next. But amazingly they spring back so quickly. I hope they feel better soon. They dont want to miss out on the season.

I love the pictures. what great shots.

I especially love the family photo/ You look like a picture perfect family. ready for the cover of Blessed family.

Poor little ones! I hope the colds disappear fully by Christmas. It's not fun to spend the holidays sick.

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!) We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home. This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God. My (growing) family. Hangin' out with my girlies. My wonderful friends (you know who you are!). To laugh (out loud and a lot!). Music. Painting. Hugs. Long chats with my buds. My garden. To read (ha...when I can!). Sunshine. Spring, Spring and more Spring. Building things. Cooking. Decorating. Parties (ahem). The internet. Life. Movies. A.I. Dancing with the stars. So you think you can dance. Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off. Oh Gee...everything actually!!
