Happy Chinese New Year !!
Today marks 2007 as The Year of the Pig according to the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. This is a picture of a huge pig shaped lantern used in celebrations in China today. 

Today, I have been with my "forever family" for two months.  

On February 10, 2007, I received my Certificate of Citizenship and this letter from The White House, congratulating me on becoming a United States citizen. This is a picture of my letter signed by President George W. Bush.

I am so happy!! I became an American Citizen as soon as I landed on American soil on December 29, 2006, but now I have it in writing !! YEAH !!!!!!!

I am an American Baby all the way ! Don't you like my hat?

 

I also have an outfit that matches my American flag. Isn't it cool?

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !! I had the greatest day today. We had a party at school with lots of sweet treats, and my friends gave me Valentine cards. We also did an art project and made Valentine cards for our families. Then the teachers decided that it would be cute to dress us up like little devils take our pictures and give them as an added gift to our families. It was different alright! After school, my Mom and I celebrated Valentine's Day and had dinner with my TWO BEST FRIENDS, KATE, LILY and "AUNT ELLEN"!
I hope you all had a Great Day like I did.

My Mom just keeps saying over and over "TOO CUTE!" "TOO CUTE!"
It made her smile and she loved it, so I know she had a Great Valentine's Day! 

This is the outfit my teachers dressed us all in and took pictures for our families for Valentine's Day. I'm a little princess ! They put the wrong costume on me! 

What is all of this red stuff everywhere? 

OK ! I'm not a little devil!! Alright ?! 

I think the photographer was having too much fun ! 

This is the card I made for my family. I put my handprint in yellow and the teacher helped me write on it and add a stem to make it look like a flower. It was a lot of fun and I think it came out very pretty don't you? 

This is a picture of me with my friends in my class at school. I put it inside the card.  

This is a VERY SPECIAL VALENTINE from my Gammy Katherine for my 1st Valentine's Day. I LOVE IT GAMMY! XOXOXOXOX



The smaller ones are pictures of Valentine cards that I got from my friends at school I LOVE them all!! Thanks ! My Mom says that she is going to put them all in a scrapbook that she is making for me.

I love this beautiful Valentine Card from my family! 

Mom gave me some of the best tasting stuff. She called it M & M's. They are very good! 

The Valentine candy is great! I am signing that I want more. Do you understand Mom? 

This card even looks good upside down! It is really pretty!
