Too Much Christmas

Santa Lia

We had a wonderful Christmas with our family. The most memorable part was when Lia started singing "Happy Birthday, dear Jesus....." It was very emotional for me as I kept thinking about what a wonderful blessing we have this year and how far Lia has come since we brought her home.

Lia was so amazed at all the presents and was even a little overwhelmed at times. There was one point where we gave her another gift and she said she was too tired to open it. Imagine that - too tired to open a present! Our kids, as always, got too many presents. We always try to cut back but it never seems to happen. Our big family gift was a Wii. They were all surprised as they didn't even really ask for one. Maybe that was because every time they have asked for one in the past we quickly would say "No way - you already have a PS2" Needless to say they were shocked and thrilled to get it. It has been going nonstop since they opened it.

It is a little sad to see the holidays come and go - it seems to happen so quickly. We hope it was as wonderful for everyone else as it was for us!

Love,
Colleen
