Consulate Appointment.......

We had to wake Olivia this morning to go eat breakfast and get to our appointment on time, she was such a joy, so happy with lots of smiles.......until......she was dumping salmon congee (which she had been eating and liking) into her lap.  We took her toy food away, and yes, we had our first 3 year old pouting.  I wish I had taken a picture of how far she stuck that bottom lip out, it was quite funny......  

So our entire 2 weeks is based around when our Consulate appointment is.  I was expecting tears and, for it to be this really neat thing...........didn't happen......We went into a room, listened to a lady behind a window explain some things, then all 20 something families stood up together to take an oath (the lady was still behind the window and we were repeating what she said).  We were the first family to be called up to the window afterwards, which was nice, "White" is always last.  A different lady looked over all our documents gave a few back to me, and said, ok Congratulations!  That was it.......

Luckily, it took less than an hour!  

We got back to the room about 9:45 and thought Olivia was tired and would take a nap but instead she was playful and happy.  We went to the back of the hotel and got some beautiful pictures of her in her Chinese silk dress, then we went to lunch.  

After lunch her and I both took a good nap!  

 She was looking at herself in the mirror.

Found these in our closet........You know......Just in case......

 Olivia would feed the fish a cracker and then take a bite for herself....
