As one might guess, coming home on December 24 with a new 6 year old family member who we just met 10 days before sort of knocked me out. Slowly but surely I might write about the time between then and now. Or maybe I won't.
I never wrote about the trip home. It actually went great! Allee is a fabulous traveler. We didn't hear much complaining at all.
In Tokyo, we met another adoptive family who lives very near to us and, in fact, stayed at our hotel in Guangzhou! Too bad we didn't meet them earlier.
Allee did start to throw a bit of a fit when the movie screen wasn't working (because it is not functional until after take-off) on the plane, but it didn't last too long. She watched movies and slept most of the way between Tokyo and Seattle.
Immigration in Seattle was a cinch. No problem at all and it did not take long..
The Seattle airport had people dressed up all over for the holidays. There was Santa, a Christmas tree, Snowman, a One Man Band, carolers, and many others. It was very festive.
I was only focused on getting home to my boys. It was most definitely rougher on me than it was on them to be away so long.
The whole trip home went fine and we arrived in Spokane on time!
We were blessed!
