Christmas with our families!

 "Every good and perfect gift is from above."
James 1:17
This was the verse the Lord first gave me when He gave us Briley & Ollie!  I have clung to this and the Lord has never let us down!  He is true to His Word & upholds all His promises!!  Each day brings a new sense of freedom and peace like I haven't known this past year and a half! Praise the Lord!!  And yea I have almost caught up with pictures to this year:)  Thank you for your patience:)  Here are some pics from Christmas with both our wonderful families!  Thank you for spoiling us and for all the wonderful memories!
Much Love!

Our Little Family Christmas in DE

"If you seek the LORD your God, you will find him."

Deuteronomy 4:29

Here is a glimpse of how we filled our 3 weeks before heading back to St. Louis for Christmas!  Fast, simple and fun!  I think my fav thing was just seeing the excitement of the kids "that baby Jesus is born!!!"  They each wrapped one of their toys for Him too!  I couldn't ask for anything more!

  WE ARE ALL A GO FOR OUR MARCH 11 ADOPTION CEREMONY!!!!!! 

PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GOODNESS & FAITHFULNESS!!!!

Much Much Love!!!!
