Amanda enjoyed her gifts and finally a picture of Jaidyn's beautiful face. She likes to hide from the camera.

Jaidyn's first Christmas was very special for all of us. We were all together and enjoyed taking turns to open gifts. We all felt blessed to be together and spend Christmas together. Jaidyn was not sure at first what was going on and she only liked the boy toys. If she opened a girl toy she would toss it to the side and make a yucky face. It was so funny. She liked letting Noah help her open her presents and she was really happy with her gifts. I was happy that everyone was happy and getting along. I was not sure how things would turn out but we were very blessed on Christmas morning. After everyone opened their presents, I took a much needed nap. We had Christmas dinner and read the Christmas story after dinner. We try to do that before opening presents in the morning but decided to wait until the evening. I will be so glad when Jaidyn learns more English and can learn about Jesus. Looking back on Christmas I am just so amazed at how blessed we are to have been home having such a special time together.
