We are ready for christmas. We had a blast decorating our home. The boys love looking at their ornaments that they have gotten through the years. We even have talking ones that they record their voice each year with their picture.Holly you should start this with Hayes!!!This year will be our nephews first christmas!!! I know my sister in law has to be so excited.Christmas took on a whole new meaning when I had children.Our plans this year are to spend christmas at home and the day after drive to Louisiana to see the Louisiana gang. I am excited to see everyone and know it is going to be a special time.It will probably be the last time to go before Kati comes home because hopefully we will be heading to Russia mid January.I am excited I will be seeing my mother in law , sisters and brother in laws and 2 nephews and our one little niece that turned 16 this year. Kati will be fortunate to have a family that all grandparents aunts and uncles are excited to welcome her in the family as if she was born naturally. Having met alot of people in the process that do not have families that are so supportive I realize I am blessed and so is Kati.That being said thank you so much to my family here in Birmingham ,Lafayette,Dallas(soon to be B.R)and Pine Prarie, Nashville,and Atlanta I love all of you. I know God took all of you in account too when he picked us out for kati and even placed all of us in our families for a purpose before the creation of the world.I love each and every one of you.
