Saturday night, Jen, Mike, Ceci, Ben and Molly came over to bring us dinner and to officially meet and hang out with their new cousin. We had seen them at the airport, but we were too brain-dead to really call it a meeting. This week, Jen's kids had been sick, and we were, well...sleeping. So, the excitement had risen to a fever pitch for the kiddos to finally hang out together!
The quickest way to our hearts is through pizza, so they brought the biggest one they could find. This thing was the size of New Hampshire. It took the whole family, and a couple extra hired hands, to carry it in.
Have I adequately emphasized the size of the pie? Seriously.
It was bigger than Claire.
It was SO fun to finally have our two families together.
The kiddos played, opened gifts, trashed our already trashed house, and checked out all of our memorabilia from China.
The cupcakes that they brought were a hit with the littles. Claire was a little unsure of her first little, personal sized cake, but she managed to consume every ounce of its icing. Afterward, it took four adults to hose the place (and the kids) down!
The highlight of the night was seeing the littles in their traditional Chinese outfits playing their drums! They were way too enthralled by the beating of their drums (and hyped up on cake) to pose for a photo.
It was 1000% adorable and 2000% special. The stuff of family memories!
We love us some cousins!

Ok, the look on Claire's face when Mark is holding her over the pizza is hilarious. ("Somebody get me outta here!!")
It sounds like you all are doing great. I am glad you have such a great support network!

I was just showing Jase your pizza...you have to tell me where this came from! I'd drive to Acworth for one of these jokers!
Everybody looks so great, Rebecca. I'm so happy for you and so grateful to the Lord for bringing you all home safely.
