This blog is for all our family and friends that couldn't be here with us this Christmas! It was such a joy for all three of us, as a new family, to be HOME for Christmas this year, but we missed you each! Hope we can share with you some of the joy of the day... Thank you for all the wonderful books, movies, toys, clothes, candy, cards, gifts, prayers and love!
Grandpa and Aunt Lee got Lily a singing walker for Christmas, perfect for the stage she's at!
Lily and her new bunny-chair from Grandmom and Pop-Pop.
Lovin' bubbles!
The Hubele's gave Lily a babydoll and a stroller...she LOVES them and has been dragging all her new toys around in her stroller.
Matt got a new watch from his parents...
And I bought a Haitian chair for Lily and painted it...This was our "big value" gift at 85 CENTS plus paint :)
We LOVE the new grill Matt's brother and sister-in-law sent us....
and had just a LOVELY Christmas Day!
Cannot believe it's been almost a year since this little Candy Lover joined us. This candy cane was gone before 7 am...
Aunt Lisa brought Lily this AWESOME Christmas dress and bow, which she proceeded to play with throughout Christmas Eve. She wore it for our OMS Christmas Eve celebration, and had such a blast with the other kids playing ball and eating awesome snacks.Much love to you each, and we continue to pray that we are all filled with the joy and awe that comes with realizing what He did for us in sending His Son...the PERFECT gift, everyday.
We are glad you are having such a wonderful time with family. Reading your blog has become a real blessing to our family, as well as part of our evening routine. It was such a joy to spend time with you last summer. We continue to pray for you. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to the Ayars!! Can't wait to see you all in just two weeks! As I scooped snow for three hours just to get a path out of the driveway, I was thinking of Haiti! Love you all, blessings.
