Day 19 Dec 25

Merry Christmas everyone. We wish we were there to celebrate with all of you.

This morning Eva was already up and fed -hanging out in the walker. She was in a good mood and then she was in a really good mood when she got her santa hat on. She was going nuts. We took some pix with the caregivers (2 of the 3 favorites we have) in front of the tree. Everyone thought Eva was just sooooo cute in here Christmas Bib and Santa Hat. Off the to the playroom we went. We passed Eva's Santa hat around so other families can get pictures of their little ones in it as well. Carl/Gretchen/Kia as well as Us with Eva went to a "tea party" with the Doctors and Natasha (translater). Oh dear tons of food. Eva had some whipped cream from the cake and was loving it!!! After the party we played for a little bit more then we had to leave. We put Eva down in her crib and she didn't want anything to do with it. She wanted to stay up and celebrate. The morning visit just flew by way too fast.

Between trips we did some shopping around for the 2 pr of tights we needed to complete our travel bag. We developed the pix of the caretakers with Eva as well as a picture of Eva in her Santa hat and bib and bought a few frames. We gave the caregivers a frame with the pix of them and framed the pix of Eva for her room for everyone to enjoy. We picked up a few odds and ends then went back to the hotel.

We were picked up early today to go to the market for items for another "tea party" for the afternoon visit with the caretakers. We were so glad that our favorites were there to celebrate with us. Eva enjoyed some apple juice and a piece of apple at this party. One of the newer couples from Spain that are adopting a baby in Eva's room joyed us as well. It was a wonderful time for all of us. It turns out that Eva loves being the center of attention. She was making tons of noises to get people to look at her, then a huge smile came. There was just so much excitement today hopefully she gets a good nights rest!!!

Here are some pictures from today.
