What a busy Christmas, but so wonderful!!

After many takes, finally a decent family pic!!!  ;-)

Opening Aunt Randi, Uncle Joe, and Max's gift

She was sooo excited... thank you!!

Christmas morning.  Got used to opening gifts pretty quickly.  She cried when they ran out!!!
Stinker!


Our cat Jake loves cozy spots.

Christmas morning, after Mommy had put the train set together!

WOW, her new big girl kitchen from Nie Nie and Yea Yea!!
Thank you, she loves it!!
Grandpa and Nana got fun accessories for it too!!  ;-)


What a great year!  We got our confirmed travel dates to get our precious Leah on Dec. 24th, and the celebrations began.  We honor our Lord for the birth of his son, Jesus, and get to share that love and many blessings with family and friends.  God is so good!!
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and I hope the Lord blesses you beyond belief this year.  Thank you for sharing in our story and I look forward to sharing our journey to bring Leah home in UNDER 2 WEEKS!!!  I cannot believe it.  Please pray for us to be ready on time and that Leah's heart is prepared to have us as her forever family.  Also, please pray for continued healing for my ankle.  It is going to be quite the interesting trip.  Also, pray for my wonderful husband who is picking up a lot of slack for me while I heal.
Love and blessings, Dawn, Pete, Bekah and Leah!!!

Especially for Leah,
Nana and Grandpa have six beautiful grandchildren.
Our hearts are so full more than we could ever have imagined. GOD will now bless us with number seven, you. We will travel with Mommy and Daddy and big sis Rebekah. We cannot wait to meet you. We promise we will give you all the time you need to let us into your little heart.
Love NANA and GRANDPA
