The celebration continues

We went out last night to celebrate our TA and ordered potstickers.

Brayden wasn't so sure about them.  Dining in China should be fun with my not-so-adventurous boys!

Then when we got home, we put up the countdown calendar and Brayden crossed off the days in February that have passed.

I put a bottle of bubbly in the fridge after our Article 5 was picked up before Chinese New Year and marked it up with "TA" and "Travel Approval."

We broke into it last night and enjoyed a toast:

Brayden doesn't like it, but Gavin was excited for a glass of "bubbly juice."  (Everyday is Christmas as far as Gavin is concerned.)

Don't judge - it was less than half a cup, it's non-alcoholic, and this was probably only the second or third glass of carbonated anything he's ever consumed.

Our agency has to schedule an appointment for us with the US Consulate in Guangzhou to process Abbie's immigrant visa.  (They can't schedule the consulate appointment until families receive their TA.)  We should receive our consulate appointment today, then we can book our flights.  Abbie will automatically become a US citizen when our plane lands on US soil!
