It is something most parents do with their new children from China - dress them up in silks and take pictures! I had heard that the Chinese don't really ever wear these, so before I bought any, I asked three different Chinese people in three different provinces. The general answer was that the older generation will wear them at celebrations and the little children will wear them at celebrations as well, so I felt comfortable buying these (at 3 to 5 dollars each! Thanks, Ann!) for the girls. I bought the shoes two sizes too big so they could wear them for a long time, plus, they were unable to run away when having their picture taken! ; )
These are not fantastic pictures as they were taken in a span of 5 minutes on the playground! Kids move fast and they wanted to play!
If you're wondering why C has a bracelet and FL doesn't, it is because FL doesn't like anything on her arms, even sleeves. C got two bracelets from her orphanage director, so we had planned to share, but FL is not there yet. C loves her bracelet and likes looking at mine, too.
Ok, here are some of my favorites!!!
