We had a wonderful Sunday spending it at Grandma Susan and Grandpa Tom's house. This year was very special because Great Grandma & Great Grandpa Leach were there. It was so nice to see them at Christmas time, they usually are in Florida during Christmas. It was also very special to us because December 21, 2007 was the day we got our Pre-Approval from China to adopt Jie, one year ago, we were approved and it took 6 more months to get her home from China. This was her first Christmas home, and boy did she catch on fast to opening presents.
Trayjan and Jie both got wonderful presents, but I think they enjoyed spending time with family and playing with cousins. Trayjan got his Batman Batwings Cape and Jie loved her Magic Slippers (which she has on again today).
This year at Grandma and Grandpa's was also very hard because last year on December 22, Aunt Tanya passed away. She is missed so very much by everyone who loves her and we know she is looking down upon this amazing family and she is so proud. We are so blessed and this year was a time to remember all those blessings, and all the wonderful and amazing things God does for us each and everyday. We keep all those who are suffering, who are ill, who have lost their homes, and who are away from their families in our prayers. We pray God is watching over each and everyone today and everyday.
