Sledding
Since we have had so much snow, we decided to finally go sledding today! Since it was close to dusk we didn't get any pics of the actual event, but here are some before and after pics (check out the pink cheeks and runny nose):

My new favorite outfit
As many of you may know I have a shopping addiction. I found these pants in the fall Baby Couture magazine and fell in love (I had ordered the pattern shown in the mag, but they had sold out). The sweatshirt and pants are from Right Bank Babies and I just love them!! Doesn't she look adorable?!?!

First Family Day!!!!
Yesterday we celebrated our first year with Sienna. We got her a balloon that said, "1st Family Day" and she loved saying, "mine!!!"
One year ago we picked up our angel after a day spent anxiously waiting for our departure time. We went from our hotel in Hanoi to her orphanage in Bac Giang where we first had tea with the orphanage director (whose wife was at home extremely sick from cancer). We were escorted to her side of the orphanage (there are two areas-one for babies going to French families and another for the American families). I will tell you that my biggest fear was that I wouldn't recognize her-even from all of the pics we had. I would then feel like the worst mother in the world. Well, I definitely didn't have to worry b/c I saw her right away!
There she was, standing in a crib next to An-also being picked up that day.
She was such an easy-going baby. She never did cry until later that night-at bedtime.
Her first pic with mom:
Her first pic with dad:
One of her caregivers:
Ready for bed on that first night-she slept the entire night on Seth's chest-he was so happy and constantly says how he wishes she would still do that. She now wakes whenever she is put in our bed and hits us and tells us, "HI!!!"
Family Day Dinner-one year later:
We went to our local Vietnamese restaurant. My parents, my bro, s-i-l, nephew, sister, and Seth's parents came to celebrate with us!
With mommy:
With daddy:
Coloring with cousin Clay-trust Grandma Donna to come bearing activities:
The child that will eat any and everything needed to try the lettuce garnish:
Eating a 'golden triangle'-I don't remember all that is in it, but I could eat TONS of these-well, so could she:
