We have two kiddos from China and one lived there until she was 18 years old. She goes back each year for a visit. She has the THICKEST and WARMEST "leggings'/"long underwear" (????) Talk to your guide (if they're from the north) about shopping for these very warm undergarments. Our Yitong wears them under her pants. She took my oldest bio to China about 3 years ago, for a month during the winter in Jilin Province (NE of Beijing) and she brought about 3 pair back. They are NOTHING like what we have in the states and they are super duper warm. Perfect for a California girl like yourself. AND, unlike me, you are small enough that you could shop for yourself in Chinese stores. Seriously, ask your guide; you'll be glad you did.Tracihttp://www.journeytojaden.typepad.com/from_moms_perspectivenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-38832946126212334192012-12-13T07:18:46.250-08:002012-12-13T07:18:46.250-08:00I live in Beijing!

You will thank me when you're standing in the Forbidden City for an hour and it's freezing and snowing. been there, done that. I'm pretty sure they make kid sizes as well. It is freaking cold in Bejing in Dec. Bundle up! And have the best time!!

So we'll be with a huge group of other adoptive families (none from our original travel group, but at least one other cool family that know) and will travel to four cities. The girls are beside themselves and in particular really looking forward to the Great Wall and holding a panda (we go to a big panda reserve). We're taking my brother (Uncle Bobby to the girls) and his wife on this one.M3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13775708069296721624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-64183782365759250582012-11-30T09:04:08.149-08:002012-11-30T09:04:08.149-08:00Good luck with the PJ hunt and have a great trip t...Good luck with the PJ hunt and have a great trip to China.

Went to pick it up and Ro saw the green one and wouldn't put it down. They still have them in stock in stores and online (but I'm guessing it's US only?). If you go to sears.com and search for "santa dress" you'll see the red and green versions in a bunch of different sizes (baby, toddler, big kid).M3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13775708069296721624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-79972107378831137232012-11-30T07:39:46.380-08:002012-11-30T07:39:46.380-08:00WOW, where did you get those dresses that the girl...WOW, where did you get those dresses that the girls are wearing.
