Mattie's Care Pkg!

We mailed our care pkg to Guixi on Thursday!

The Blanket is from Aunt Rhonda and I wrote the Chinese Characters for Yan Yan on the tag.

The cameras: I hope they take photos of Mattie between now and when we get her. I wrote Yan Yan characters on the camera.

The Teddy Bear is from Grndma Marj and Grndpa Joe. The bunny is from Gram Ann and Gramps Ron.

The Ariel doll - all cloth by the way which is pretty cool - is from Jason and Ashlee.

The plastic keys and photo albums are from me and Alan.

All the chocolate is for the babies to share....just kidding. It's for the Orphanage director and nannies.

I was pretty excited that I could write this out in Mandarin Characters. We'll see how I actually did when my girlfriend from China, Sharon, see's it.
For those adopting wondering about what's involved. I cannot tell you how easy CCAI is making everything. They are just about standing here holding our hands...except they are in CO. But I can barely tell the difference.

There is specific instructions for sending something to an orphanage and it came in our Fed Ex. Pkg. Saturday. The address was in the packet, in Mandarin charcters that you can cut out and glue to your pkg so they can read it in China. There's instructions on how to avoid it going through customs and exactly what papers you must put in the box - like your acceptance certificate - for it to get to your child. And there is a letter written in Mandarin Characters that you just sign and put in the box (there's an english translation so you, the parent, know what it says too).

Once again...so easy!

I just needed to follow CCAI's directions!
