When we went back to The States for Christmas, I was seriously shocked to see the Valentine's aisle at Wal-Mart pop up just a few short days after Christmas! I mean, come on... really?
I was a little appalled to be honest... and had no desire to walk down that aisle.
But a few days later, I made another Wal-Mart stop. Different Wal-Mart, different town. But same Valentine's aisle. And I began to think ahead. China makes you do that... I had a hard time finding anything Valentine'sy for Emily last year... so, I picked up a few things.
I really don't get it... Valentine's in December... but I know a little girl who definitely appreciated the hearts in the midst of the snowflakes this morning.
Our Valentine's tradition in The States has been to go to Build-A-Bear and create a new stuffed friend. I've missed doing that the past 2 years! But we made a new tradition today. Ice Skating! Emily had her first ice skating lesson... in Chinese!

| A little more comfortable... |

| Emily and one of her best friends, Megan. |

| All on her own, woohoo! |
 |
| Best friends!! This will be a tough goodbye... :( |
Happy Valentine's Day!!
