We Did It!

Our dossier is all ready and we will be mailing it to CCAI on Monday! I am so excited! We went to Harrisburg last Friday to have the Secretary of State certify our documents. That was very easy and the lady at the desk who helped us had a great sense of humor. We bought Jade a panda bear while in Harrisburg. Before heading home, we went to the Lancaster outlets to do a bit of Christmas shopping.





Then on Sunday we drove to New York City. We went to Chinatown during the day. We bought a beautiful piece of art in Chinatown which we have since hung in our living room. On Monday, we went to the Chinese Consulate. It was an easy process, but we had butterflies in our stomachs! While we waited for our documents to be ready, we went to FAO Schwartz and did some more Christmas shopping. We bought Jade a pink puppy.







Then on Tuesday and Wednesday, I had parent conferences at school. We had a nice Thanksgiving and I made my family pose for the last of the dossier photos!

Then yesterday we went shopping on Black Friday and wow, we were really successful! Needless to say, I feel like today is the first day I can catch my breath in some time. Today I organized the dossier and we will mail it on Monday. FINALLY!

I hope everyone had a peaceful and relaxing Thanksgiving.
