What a Wonderful Christmas This Will Be...

Last weekend, we went out to a tree farm somewhat not so close to our house and found our Christmas Tree. We searched near and far, high and low, through two feet of mud (at least that is what the farmer told us it was)for this special tree. Ya see, we wanted a specific type of tree called a Scotch Pine which is a little bit bushy, or in other words, it look like a giant green feather duster. When our boys finally found the tree, they hopped up in excitement.

I soon made my way over to the elusive tree and ended it's life as it had come to know, sitting in a field with other trees that would soon suffer the same fate.


We then took this fine specimen of timber home and decorated in the traditional Christmas (or is it Holiday) fashion. Yes, it has been watered.
Then yesterday, Santa's Helpers who work for our agency sent us a little present. This was totally unexpected, but our agency is very good at what they do. They told us that this present could not wait to be opened on Christmas Morning. It needed to be opened right away. We were wondering why we had to opened it so urgently, we could of waited until Christmas Eve at least. They said 'No,' you must open it now. When all was said and done....

We are very happy to announce the newest member of our family!!

She is so beautiful!! The name Samantha jumped out at me when I saw her face. She's very blessed. :)

PS my youngest has the crossed feet as well. It takes time but they do learn how to get around without tripping constantly. My daughter finally learned how to climb ladders last month. She still has some trouble running and navigating stairs but it's getting easier for her as time goes by.
