Moriah on Christmas Day with Aunt Connie
Moriah on Christmas Eve with one of her gifts (and Mommy) These wooden fruits are great for
practicing fine motor skills. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!
It wouldn't be Christmas without Legos!
Kimberly got lots and lots of beads!It's hard to put into words the swirl of emotions that filled us this Christmas. There was a sense of completeness as we watched Moriah joyfully tearing paper and enjoying her new toys. Her little face was alight with all the wonder of Christmas. How long we have waited for her and what a huge blessing to have her home at last! At the same time, my mind often went to the little ones in China (and around the world) who do not know the joy of having a family. I don't think we could have experienced all of the things we did this year without it impacting us for a lifetime.
We spent Christmas Eve with Andy's parents and Christmas Day with mine. Our families are quite a contrast to each other as Andy is an only child and I am one of nine children. So Christmas Eve was peaceful and fun with lots of presents to open and play with. Christmas day was crowded and loud and lots of fun as we enjoyed three new little ones who have joined the family this year. Moriah loved rolling around on the carpet with all of the cousins. She fits right in.
Our good friends were also here with us from Albuquerque. Moriah loved playing with their three little girls. I am so glad that she enjoys other children and doesn't seem to feel threatened by them.
As always, the Lord has been faithful to us and blessed us in so many ways during this holiday season.

Hey AmY!!! Just getting caught up on all your posts, it is great to hear that Moriah is doing so well, in the pictures it absolutely looks like she is thriving, she is precious! She really reminds me of Aubrey. I think they got such good care, how lucky are we? Wishing you all the best in the new year!
