Christmas Day morning was the most exciting for us as we got to watch the love of our life realize every child's dream- wake up to a heap of toys just for them. The big hits from our house: the omnidriod and Dash figurines from one of his favorite movies, The Incredibles, Curious George book set, the big castle and his aircraft carrier. Santa Claus did not disappoint!
It was on to our cousin's Sandy's house to spend the remainder of the day where we got to catch up with family, eat and be merry. The celebration continued onto Wednesday when my Dad, Pops, came over. He arrived with a carload of gifts that included Lightning McQueen talking car, air hockey game and a Big Wheel!
Now that the holiday is winding down and the gifts and decorations are being put away, I eagerly welcome the new year. We are hoping January brings us the news that the adoption is approved. We are optimistic but there tends to be less rhyme and even less reason to how the files are approved so we just don't know for sure when. Tristan talks about Gavin and flying to Guatemala just as much as he did when we returned from our visit two months ago. Our collective hearts will continue to break until we have Gavin home with us. We can only hope for soon.
