We all made and decorated cookies on christmas eve. This was a yearly tradition in my family growing up, and now we do it in our house as well. Fisher now holds the record for putting more frosting on a cookie than previously thought humanly possible! Also in keeping with tradition, we made a few "felix" cookies in honor of my brother, Derek.Scott and I were in the thick of battle competing for the title of best felix cookie. (i won, of course.)
Julieann and Josh bought Jamison a traditional Chinese formal outfit while we were in China. Jamison ALWAYS wants to wear it, but I only let him for special occasions. He wanted to wear it for Christmas. The last picture is him wearing his gold outfit holding Fisher.
We had a fun day together. The boys all played outside building a snow fort for most of the afternoon. they each got something they wanted for christmas, and i was so excited to be looking around our living room at all SIX boys together. Jamison's first christmas at home with us. It made me very happy. I am growing to like him more and more. i have loved him from the first time i saw his picture, but LIKING him is taking so much longer than i could have ever imagined. still waiting. still trusting.
Merry Christmas to you all. Peace to your heart.
Merry Christmas to you all, too! We hope to leave soon to bring home our Eli from Anhui Province. We are stopping by Philip Hayden to drop off some needed supplies collected from our church family. I can hardly wait to visit PHF!
ReplyDeleteGod bless your family in the coming new year. So happy Jamison is finally home.
In Christ,
Janet, Kevin, Ted, Philip, and waiting for Eli
