Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our family and friends. I hope you all had a joyful, healthy holiday. We had a wonderful Christmas and so did Gracie, she just didn’t know it. We took turns unwrapping her gifts. She got all kinds of presents, a doll, overnight bag (Grandma Vena is already planning on keeping her overnight), a doll house, her own little dishes, a dancing tigger, and much more. Throughout Christmas I kept thinking that next year our daughter will be here with us to share in and add to our Christmas joy.

Grandma Katie and Grandma Vena have started to plan the shower for early June. The excitement is really starting to build. We still have no word on a time frame, but currently referral time is 15 months, which would put us traveling to China in June or July. Maybe we will be there for Alex’s 17th birthday, imagine spending your birthday in China to pick up your little sister. That would be a great gift. I cannot wait to see the two of them together, I just know she is going to be crazy about him, he is so great with little kids.

We are pleased and honored to announce that big brother, Alex and Aunt Chrissy will be traveling to China with us to share in our joyful journey to Gracie. It makes my heart happy to have Chrissy join us to share in this very special time in our lives. Thank you, Chrissy for saying you would love to go it means a lot to us.

Here are some pictures of our Christmas holiday. Please sign our guest book, we love and appreciate all of your comments and support.
