Eating the ice cream was an even bigger hit:)
Today, we were excited to have Bekah and Leah's family swing by to visit us on their way home from Myrtle Beach! Their family are some very dear friends of ours who were in our travel group when we went to China for AnnaClaire. In fact, here's some pictures of AnnaClaire and Bekah playing in China! They had visited us back 2 years ago (there's a few group pictures here and a bunch more here.) but the last time we saw them was in Nov. 2007 at our travel group/chatty sister renuion at Disney*World. Anyway, since then, both of our families have brought home another sweet China girl! We, of course, brought Kate home in Oct. and they came home with Leah in Jan. of this year. AC and Bekah are about a week apart (both are 3 and a half) and Kate and Leah are two months apart in age (new twos!) It was hard to believe that the last time we saw the D. family, Bekah and AC were Kate and Leah's age! Anyway, we had such a fun time just visiting and letting the girls run around. They all played so well together! They loved just running around, playing hide and seek, playing on riding toys, and making homemade ice cream again! I had to leave our little party early to work... but we had such a fun afternoon! It was so fun to finally meet precious Leah, who we have heard so much about, and to see Bekah and her parents again. Bekah, of course, has grown so much. She and AnnaClaire loved hearing about how they played in China together!! I just love adoption... the friends we have made on this incredible journey are irreplaceble and our girls will always have a special friendship, no matter how far away they live... just love that!
UPDATE: AnnaClaire bawled when her friends left and woke up crying on Saturday night because she was so sad they were gone. Hopefully it will be sooner than two years before we see you guys again!
