DECEMBER 2008

December has once again been such an amazing month—our favorite time of year! Bria had a great time this year helping me decorate the house for Christmas!

Our month began with a fun trip to Arkansas to Tyler and Alex’s birthday party. Their party was at the skating rink which brought about another first for sweet Bria—skating!! We had her wheels so tight that she was practically just walking, but she had so much fun! They didn’t have skates small enough for her tiny feet, but that didn’t slow her down a bit!

Our Christmas celebration began the weekend before Christmas at Nanny and Papa’s house. All of the Aunts and Uncles and cousins get together there for dinner and to exchange gifts. Bria is usually the entertainment for us all and this year was no different. She loves attention and sure gets lots of it!

On December 23rd we surprised the kids with a fun family date. We didn’t tell them where we were going but we told them they had to get all dressed up. As we all (Bud, Julie, Jake, Hayley, Grace, Jen, Josh, James, Kaden, Bria, Ashlyn, Landen, and I) stood in the entry way of our house trying to “decide which cars to take” on our big family date, a huge SUV limo pulled up in front of the house. The kids FLIPPED out!! The limo took us to Bricktown to eat a Spaghetti Warehouse where we had reserved the trolley car just for all of us. We had a wonderful dinner and then went all over looking at Christmas lights and drinking hot chocolate. What a special family memory!

On Christmas Eve, Gaga, Papa, Aunt Glenda, Daniel, Uncle NaNa and Cousins Jeff and Jessie came to stay. We had a house full of family, which is always exciting! I think Miss Bria was more excited about Christmas this year than ever before! She had asked Santa for a “pink dolly.” Boy, was she excited when she woke up Christmas morning to find that Santa had once again pulled through and gotten her a pink dolly that talks. After playing with Santa’s present for a while, we separated presents for Bria, Kaden, Jake, Hayley ad Grace and we went around one at a time opening presents. This turned out to be quite a challenge for Little Bria. She could not wait until her turn—she would slowly start tearing the edge of the paper so that when it was finally her turn her packages were half opened already—it was so funny! She was very excited about everything she got—several dolls, arts and crafts supplies, a new purse, some movies, ad Easy Bake Oven and some clothes. Bria had another very blessed Christmas!

We are so excited about the new year ahead! We look forward to our newest addition—Bria’s little sister, Abree! We are still not able to share photos or details, but we pray we can by the next update. Hopefully soon little Abree will have her own website her on myadoptionwebsite.com. We wish you all a Blessed 2009!!!!
