Anna's 1st Christmas!!!








Wow, I just never thought this day would be here, and simply cannot imagine Anna not being here and being a part of our family. She is doing amazing, and caught onto this holiday thing like a pro! She did great amidst all the chaos. I tried not to over-do it with gifts, but I must have failed as she still hasn't opened all her presents. She just kept wanting to play with the gifts as she was opening them, or play with Dylan's toys, and didn't want to be bothered with opening more presents. I just can't express how lucky I feel this holiday season. It was such a long road to get here, and while I haven't forgotten the 13 month wait between trips, the pain and stress is beginning to fade. My heart goes out to all those families still waiting to bring home their children.

Ha! She LOVES it! Thats great. Jack did the same thing, we were still opening gifts in the afternoon because he wanted to play with each one as it was opened.

That's funny!...Alex didn't want to be bothered with opening more presents either...we had to keep saying "Hey, buddy, there are more presents for you here!"
