Ready for the holidays with a new little guy!

Okay, I like to keep comparing posts from a year ago with things now and it's just kind of neat to see how things have changed and how we've finally reached the things I only dreamed about last year. For example, last year at this time we knew about Belly Boy but he was far away in Ethiopia. We got ready for Christmas and even celebrated Christmas without him and it was kind of sad. BUT NOW we're celebrating the holidays with Belly Boy!

It's been cool to teach him all the little things we do each year in preparation of Christmas such as putting up the tree, hanging up the lights and ornaments, decorating the house, and all the fun stuff around this time! He also was introduced to snow which he declared was a BIG MESS! He did not like the cold snow on his face and he did not like how the snow covered his swing and everything outside! How could Miss Bossy and Sports Dude be so excited for this...MESS?

Yesterday we hung up ornaments and Belly Boy was so cute as he VERY quickly learned how to hang all the ornaments and ran back and forth for more and more. He liked the final tree with all its lights and sparkles! The poor kid must be really confused with all these new activities though!

So anyways this last month or so has been really fun to spend with Belly Boy! We are so happy to have him home to share Christmas with us!
