With the boys adoption being finalized in December we already had our Christmas blessing, however having their first Christmas was really special!! All the kids had an amazing morning and were so happy with their gifts! The neatest thing though was something we just enjoyed and didnt take pictures of. On Christmas Eve night after we got back from the big kids church program we gave each of the kids their new pajamas. Then the kids had all taken trips individually to the Dollar Tree to pick gifts out for one another and us. It was amazing to have the time with each one teaching about giving (they didnt get to buy anything for themselves on this trip). But on Christmas Eve night when the kids exchanged gifts they were all so gracious to one another and thankful and it was my favorite part of Christmas!! I can't wait in future years wear they can go a step further and earn the money themselves!
