One Week Home And First Christmas Together

Sarah rolled and cut and decorated Christmas cookies.

Jaden was a great helper also!

Wearing most of the icing.

I woke up Christmas morning to this little and very excited voice

saying "Santa brought my tooter scooter and doll house I wanted!!!

"Sarah's bike too!

Oh, and just ignore the sheets on the sofa there IS a body under

them. When you are in your twenties you can sleep through anything!
The twins, our sweet daughter-in-law and Justin a friend of theirs

(adopted into the family minus all the paperwork & expense) ;)

spent the night at our house. The rest of the family and guests

arrived in the afternoon for Christmas dinner.

Yes! My girly girl is very into cars also!
We did get a couple of pics of Sarah in her pajamas. She was quite

shy and didn't really want them taken so I won't post them this year.

She never celebrated Christmas before and she doesn't know the

reason why we celebrate. I did tell her we were celebrating Jesus

birth. I know she didn't really understand. That is ok. I just pray

that she will see Jesus in me as we interact together.

She was trying to avoid the camera so most of the pics are of her

looking down. She seemed to like her gifts. She wouldn't get on her

bike at all. A little later we set it outside and when she thought no

one was paying any attention she got on and tried to ride. Chris her

big brother went out to help her. Then she realized others were

watching and wouldn't get back on. She is very shy.

She unwrapped her gifts one piece of tape at a time. :)
She liked her tea set!

Checking out her new cookbook.
