Mia and Anna received their first package! And what a package! The
gifts were packed in a copy paper box. Yes, it was that big. When we
opened it without them in the room, we were amazed at all that it
contained. The girls were having a lot of upsetting moments because of
doctor visits, dentists, blood drawn for testing, etc. Having all this
to do, the thoughtful gift from Aunt Denise was both welcomed and
exciting. We explained who it was from and showed them their Aunt
Denise's picture on the computer. They seemed to have forgotten that
when they opened it and thanked us! We then explained to them again who
it was from and they were thanking their Aunt Denise. Denise, if you
hear "thank you Denise ayi", they are saying Aunt Denise in Chinese.
They loved everything in their gift bags. They haven't "unpacked" their
gift bags yet. They even put a few more of their other things in it.
They did color their little purses and when a friend from church came
over they put the hair clips in her hair and stickers on her hand. Did I
mention that this friend was over 80 years old. I
told them that I will help them with their scrapbooks. We have a lot of
photos that we can put in them already. Some of the pictures are from
when they were still at the orphanage. We sent disposable cameras to the
orphanages and they sent these back with us. They are going to be
thrilled once they have their scrapbooks started! We can't thank you
enough Denise, so I will let the girls do that. Here is the video we
took of them and I have also included a few photos!
