Merry Christmas Baby!
We want to send some Christmas cheer to the Orphanage Director and the Nannies who care for Paisley, and since the postage for anything bigger than a small shoebox is astronomical, we have decided to send a Christmas cake from Blessed Kids on behalf of our little sugarplum! Apparently China is starting to embrace the commercial side of Christmas (really?? who'd have thought), so a Christmas cake will be a nice treat for the staff and older children.
We also decided that Piper & Paisley should be giving as they are receiving and we donated a flock of geese to two families in China through Heifer International.
We are so incredibly lucky to be Piper's parents, and I long for the day we will be Paisley's legal Mummy & Daddy (for now we must suffice being her parents in our hearts only). We waited so long to become a family, that not even 1000 Christmas's could give us a greater gift than our two sugarplum fairies.
We also are grateful, and we have decided to donate to Love without Boundaries medical fund. This year we chose to donate to a specific child on their list. Please visit Love without Boundaries and consider one of the children on the medical list, perhaps that would make a good stocking stuffer for someone you love! You can also donate a safe crib to an orphanage for just $52. We could be Santa's elves for a few days.

YOU woman, are my inspiration.

Love Without Boundaries does great work, but it is also such great instant gratification to see what you can do for someone with a (relatively) small sum.
What a great idea!! I have always sent birthday cakes through her, but never a Christmas cake, I love it!
Ok, please e-mail your address. I want to donate to the fund. I know we have a paypal that my husband set up but I just couldn't get him to the blog in time. Things have been nuts. It would really do my heart good to send a little love your guys' way. I want to be a part of bringing your girl home. timnkim@gmail.com
I love how these organisations help the people that need helping - not lining their own pockets with "admin" fees.
A flock of geese - that's fantastic!!!
Yay! Merry Christmas. You make me proud!
Thank you for all of these GREAT ideas!!!! Blessings to you as you celebrate together. I look forward to running into you at Byerly's with two precious girls soon!!!!!
Merry Merry from down the road!

You inspire and challenge me - thank you...truly a blessing. How blessed are Piper and Paisley to learn the gift of giving from early on - I grew up in a home where this was the norm, I still cherish the value placed on giving away and pray that I will do as well in teaching my girls. Sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for Paisley to be in your arms!!
