Whew, December has sure come and it seems is going just a quickly. This has been a very busy month for us all, as I am sure it has been for everybody. Our family has been enjoying most of the business with minor time off for tantrums, emotional melt downs, and exhaustion of course.
Ethan has participated in several activities this month. He started basketball practice in November and is really having fun being part of the team. Although his team is 0-3 right now, Ethan made three baskets at his last game and was very proud of himself as were we all. At school he was the Indian Chief in a play, made gingerbread houses with his class and Dad took off work to help, and he had great fun at the winter party that Mom and his brothers got to attend. Ethan also got to visit with Santa at the mall and made sure to tell him that what he really wanted was an electric guitar with an amp.
Garrett has also been very busy this month. At preschool he has made lots of crafts for Christmas and about the birth of Jesus. On Dec. 18th he played the bells and sang in the Christmas program. Not only did he look very handsome but he did a really great job. Garrett also saw Santa, he asked for a new set of legos and a doll for Genei. He loves his little sister and wants to make sure she is included in our Christmas celebration.
Braeden has been a little ball of energy all month and very excited about all things Christmas. Everytime he sees lights or decorations he says "look its Christmas". Braeden got to sing in the Christmas program at his preschool. His songs were "Away in the Manger" and "Jingle Bells". He had the very important job of carrying baby Jesus onto the stage. Let's just say I'm glad it wasn't a real baby and I gonna to have to make sure he doesn't pick up Genei without supervision. The program was adorable and really highlighted the importance of Jesus.
As for Todd and I we have been kept busy with work and the work of making Christmas special for the boys. Since Robby and Amber (my younger brother and sister) will be sharing their Christmas with us this year I have been trying very hard to make it special for our whole family. I got an ornament with all our names on it, including our precious Genei and I also purchased the Willow Tree figurine "Angel of Hope". We are so blessed this season to be surrounded with family, however we have hope and faith that God will bless our family even more by bringing Genei home very soon.
We wish you all very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. Please be with us in praying for Genei and that with God's help by this time next year she will be home with us.
