Red Couch Day

The day after the Consulate Appointment, we received the rest of the paperwork we needed to take her home!  After that, we got the girls ready for the Red Couch Picture.  This is a White Swan Hotel tradition.  All of the families dress up traditional Chinese clothing, put them on the couch and take pictures.  Sydney got in on the action and they both looked so pretty in their silks. 

When we got to the Red Couch, I panicked a little because my hair accessory for Vivienne did not match her outfit.  My friend Melissa, I kid you not, pulled out a beautiful little flower that she had made herself that was the color of her silk! 

When we sing the song, "Hot, hot, hot" she smiles like this!  We started singing it one night in the hotel and she was laughing so hard she couldn't breathe.  She also tries to copy the hand motions we did.
