Santa brought the girls matching princess dresses.
Aunt Linda sent warm and fuzzy pj's...
And Qi Meng, Brooke's little foster brother, sent a great DVD featuring Chinese games and songs for kids. Brooke goes bananas over it and dances all over the room! 
We made it to midnight on New Year's Eve. Thanks to some neighbors shooting off early fireworks, Olivia woke up screaming around 11:30pm. So she joined in the countdown fun. She and daddy toasted the New Year with sparkling grape juice. Ching! Ching! (Brooke loves to say "ching! ching!" and we toast something at almost every meal.)
Mommy and Olivia - ching! ching!
Then we found out daddy was pregnant with twins and he was due any minute!!!! Ha! Just kidding! Jingle and Smoochy HATE HATE HATE thunder/fireworks. Smoochy disappeared. Jingle took refuge in daddy's sweatshirt. (Lucy sleeps thru everything.)
Peek-a-boo!!!
Later, we found Smoochy bunked in with Brooke, who, thankfully, also slept thru everything.
Daddy got his New Year"s kiss from Brooke the next morning. I think she kinda likes her daddy...
Those wild dogs!
Brooke styling' her glamorous sunglasses...
One more picture of the dogs being tortured...
Let's hear it for a better 2010 than 2009...
