Complications prevented us from having a reunion with Elspeth’s China family this summer. This past weekend everything aligned and a wonderful reunion was had by three…Glenn was sick so had to miss out.
We began the day with lunch out with one of Elspeth’s sisters. The two are adorable together. As a side bonus, we got to see noodles being made. Stunk like flour but was pretty cool to watch. Plus when he was done I had one happy girl with a bowl full of noodles and another happy girl with a “sister”.
From there it was off to the party at a house already decked out in festive splendor. The kids were super pumped when they saw the tree set up in the corner and the gifts underneath.
The kids played and smiled. Lots of laugh and building that sense of family. Once desserts was done, the kids finally got their hands on the presents. I love seeing children’s faces on Christmas. The anticipation in that moment before they unwrap, followed closely by the wonder and joy when they see what is hiding under the wrapping paper.
Thank you to all of our ‘family’ who made it such a special night!
