Christmas

Christmas was a basket full of emotions this year. The surprise and unknown expressions on the new kids faces was absolutely priceless. They never had a Christmas and every litttle thing was a new adventure. They were blown away by all the gifts and just kept asking, "More for ME?" They loved the boxes that the gift came in and wanted to save the wrapping paper.

A friend of Dan's sent the kids books. What a thoughtful gift for them! We love to read to them so it was a perfect gift. We are so grateful for friends.

We took the kids to see Christmas lights - which they loved.

We just had a great time with them. They, I hope, will remember their first Christmas. Now it is time to put the toys together.

We are looking forward to a new 2010.
