Home School & a Package

School is going well for the most part~

now that Jing has some sense of her life now

and we are in a somewhat routine.

Today when EK chose to write about our Christmas tree

Jing said, "I make a 'Chris-a-mas' tree too."

Thought it was the perfect time to work on shapes

so I drew one thing at a time and she colored~

then got to add the sequins.

She was very diligent and SO proud when finished.

When we were dressed and back in the kitchen for lunch,

Jing picked up her tree and said,

"I show Baba he get home. Be right back."

Just look how proud she is of herself.

Then we spied the UPS truck coming down the driveway~

you may remember from last Christmas

how much I love to see the brown truck! :)

He brought a sweet package from Jing's new friend

from China Olivia and her mom Robin.

She sent two gifts from Red Thread Maps~

A Putian City bear and tile with a Fujian map.

She loves them both

and the girls have already dressed the bear in a dress.

The tile map is in their 'China' cabinet safe and sound. :)
