Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All! We hope this message finds you all healthy and happy!
Wow - what a difference a year makes! Last year at this time we had just received the referral for the boys and were frantically putting paperwork together to mail off to India! This year we enjoyed the holidays with close family and friends and our three sons! Needless to say, the boys thought Christmas was fantastic! They got bicycles (and Owen a tricycle) and stockings with presents from Santa Claus; legos, Playmobile and a book from Mommy & Daddy, and many wonderful gifts from family & friends! Overall the kids did very well with the hustle and bustle of numerous house guests, meals with many folks and disrupted schedules we have worked so hard to maintain (no naps got a bit ugly by the end of the day yesterday). Despite all the fancy things, the favorite items for all the boys were the 88 cent flashlights Santa packed in the stockings and 3 apples from Daddy's friend Randy - go figure! We're really enjoying our time off with the boys, no doubt it will make going back to work tough. That's all for now - here is the first batch of photos - from Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. I should have more in a day or two from another family event - hope you enjoy them! Love & Hugs & Peace to All!

Thank you for sharing the joy so soon! So exciting! It must have felt like a miracle to you, parents, to enjoy your first holiday as a big family... Wonderful! The joy was so clear in their faces.
Have a happy new year, the first whole year you'll spend all together.
