Christmas: The Rest of the Story

OK, so I've played too many games of Pathwords on Facebook today and my wrist hurts too bad to type much about these photos. But here's the rest of my favorite shots of Christmas Day.

Chloe wrapped her gift to Emma with extra special care! Love to see them hug!


Delighted with an ABC game. (School stuff - shhhh.)


We have instated Game Night once a week this year and this is Keegan's favorite! He and Micah both beat me on the first Game Night. Grrrr. I should challenge them to a round of Pathwords. HA!


Caleb's first Christmas. It was absolutely wonderful to have all my babes home this year!

Yes, those are tears. Emma got her siblings and several friends to go in with her on a donation to Shaohannah's Hope in honor of Kyle and I. This is the Chapman's foundation that gives grants to families who want to adopt, but need help with the initial outlay of funds. By far, the best gift they could have given us. We are delighted to know that this will help another orphan come home for Christmas next year.

EMMA! THAT IS THE BEST GIFT EVER! (Please picture me excited and speaking to you with GREAT ENTHUSIASM for your MOST THOUGHTFUL GIFT EVER to your parents!) Kelly, if you could see ME right now, you would see tears, too. What an amazing testimony that gift of Emma's is to her character AND to the awesome job you guys are doing raising her. Your post has JUST. MADE. MY. DAY.
