Xiushan Sisters Reunion





What a week we have had. It was so neat to have 5 of the girls together. They were so sweet. When Sarah came, the girls just hugged and loved on each other. Such precious moments. Then Miss Bethany rolled in and it was giggles and smiles all around. Ella arrived on Thursday night and it was time for lots of bubble fun. They warmed up to each other and it was non stop fun for 2 days. We were all so excited to be together. It was so strange to think of all that had happened in the last year. We sure missed the other girls and hope that maybe we can get together with everyone after Christmas. It was so hard to say goodbye on Saturday.

It is hard to explain the connection that we have with these families. We experienced such joy together in China as we became Forever Families. It is our hope that we will always be able to stay in touch and keep our girls together. What started as a journey to our daughters, changed each of our lives. We not only were blessed with beautiful, precious daughters but we also were blessed with friends that are now a part of our family.
Thank you for making the trip to the beach. Thank you for hanging out and just enjoying being together. I sure hope that we can ALL be together next year!

What a wonderful reunion we all had with the girls and their families. Thank you so much for including me and PaPa. I will never forget the smiles on the little girls faces when they saw their sisters. You did a wonderful job getting this all together. Looking forward to the next one. Love, Nana
