Maya has enjoyed more 'firsts'...Thanksgiving, first snow, hot cocoa, baking Christmas cookes, Christmas lighted parade and painting. She definately enjoyed Thanksgiving and her big turkey dinner and the pie. Having moved into the Christmas season it is so fun to see the joy of it all in her. She loves the lights, the joining us for 'bible time' as we do our Advent tree, and loves the nativity scene and sings Happy Birthday Jesus everyday. We have two nativity sets and one is for the kids to set up and be 'hands on' with. Thus baby Jesus is often in Maya's hands. Very precious.
We are so happy to be celebrating the birth of Jesus this December as a family of 5. So hard to imagine that last year at this time we didn't even have a picture of Maya. We are truly blessed to have our beautiful daughter home with us and are so grateful for all three of our girls. God is good.
Sydney lost her 7th tooth and the excitement was overwhelming as this was the fist one she pulled out. Elated and overjoyed are vast understatements to her reaction to pulling it out. The other 6 teeth stayed in until they fell out on their own, so this was a huge event!!!

Hi Jill,
I stumbled across your blog on a friend of mine, Tammy Berg's, page. Wow. What a small world! It is so cool to read about the story of your family, and bringing home Maya and Ava. How wonderful! Merry Christmas to all of you :)
