Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Santa says our Christmas present is waiting for us in China!
This will be our last Christmas picture with just the 2 of us. We had a lovely day with our friends. We canceled our Christmas trip to CA to see family because of our impending travel to China. Our next family trip we'll be bringing a new family member with us!!!!! We have to introduce her to "In & Out"...that's on her daddy's top things to do while in California - TRADITION. This is where we had our first "unofficial" date.
We are still waiting to hear back from the US Consulate with a confirmed appointment. Hopefully, that will be coming any day now and we can leave on January 8th.

Merry Christmas!! And I have a feeling the NEw Year will be one of your BEST! ;)

We introduced our daughter to "In & Out" 2 years ago on a trip to CA...she LOVED it! I knew we were matched perfectly! ;)

Looking forward to seeing your NEW family photo very soon!
