Well, this is how we started out almost five years ago with our beautiful Lili. This picture below was actually taken just as we got off the airplane after a grueling 36 hour trip home from China to adopt this little monkey. She hadn't smiled too much up until this point...didn't smile too much for quite some time after this either. It was a pretty rough transition for this little angel.
Now, here we are five years later...celebrating Miss Lili's SIXTH birthday. I can hardly believe it!!! She has grown ...a little bit...still pretty tiny!!! She has grown up...so smart and so amazing. She has turned Six and I could not be prouder of my little Lima Bean...I am so blessed that God chose me to be her Mommy and I can't imagine having missed this precious little life!!!!
Smiling as we set foot on Tennessee soil!!!!
The six year old budding artist with her new markers.
Oh man...Dora cupcakes...does it get any better than this??? No, REALLY...does it get any better????
"The Face" I love this face...she makes this expresion all the time and I love it!!!
Liliana and her Daddy Man. She requested Cracker Barrell for the birthday dinner.

While we waited on our table...Lili enjoyed honing her Xylophone skills. Love the "Chinese Squat"
And now here we are five years later and look at the amazing little beauty she has become.

Hi Shelley....
I am behind, but had a few quiet minutes and stopped in to catch up. Belated Happy Birthday to Miss Lili! She is adorable, and looks so grown up. Merry Christmas to your family...can't believe it's been 5 years since we celebrated Christmas and new family members together in a hotel room in GZ! Neila
