Christmas Eve 2010

Christmas-7-Before ChurchSmallFile

We had a lovely Christmas Eve last night, even though a few special people were missing from our table. We enjoyed a beautiful service at our church, and then we had a delicious dinner of surf and turf. Aunt Bop and Little Grandma were here to join in on Sienna's first Christmas! We had a special toast just for her, that she loved!

After dinner, our wonderful neighbors called to invite us over for a special visitor, Santa! So we went over there and surprised the girls. Let's just say the look of awe on their faces when they heard his bells and saw him walk in the door were priceless! Not all caught on film.. but, never to be forgotten!

After we arrived home, I let Sienna and Ruby open just a couple gifts before bed. Ainsley decided she wanted to wait until Christmas morning for any gift opening.. (She's getting so grown up on us!)

Diana I just love that you brought Sienna's doctor a bow tie! How adorable!
And I love how you wrote that you get a "front row seat" in the miracle of adoption! Sienna and Ruby's sisterhood is a miracle indeed! Very sweet!

I have been following your family's blog since you went to China to bring home sweet Sienna. Thank you for sharing the lives of your three wonderful little girls. Sienna has inspired me to maybe adopt an older child. I have two daughters who were born in China already and they are the love of my life.
