The surprise baby shower was on Saturday. It snowed Friday night and the roads were pretty icy. Lots of people didn't make it, we really appreciated the folks that made it and we had some fun together. Jia LOVES a party. We've been joking that she'll be a party girl because she likes things loud and busy so it was fun to see her in the groups of kids having such a great time. She was pretty wiped by the time we took her home! Thank you everyone who worked on the party and thank you to everyone for the food and gifts. We're so thankfull for good friends and family, your support is wonderful.
Two of the families from Victoria decided to stay over at our house instead of risking the mountain drive in the dark. Once Jia was in bed the adults sat and chatted while the bigger girls ran around. Lili and Fei were delighted to be getting a spur of the moment surprise sleep over with their friends.
After everyone left I finally relented and let Lili go outside and play in the snow. She had fevers for three days last week. She seems fine now, but I was being extra careful. To be honest, our girls have never really enjoyed the snow and they usually play for about 15mins and come in. To our suprise we put Jia down for a nap and they played in the backyard for over an hour! They also built their first ever on their own snowmen! Lili did have a coat on, but E didn't get a picture of her by her snowman, so she ran out and posed in just a shirt. Isabel wasn't too thrilled with the snow Sat. morning but she was enjoying it by the afternoon.
Last night the girls were practicing their piano for the Christmas recital and Missy crawled over to help. She loves playing (pounding) the piano.
