What a blessed Christmas!

What a beautiful way to start Christmas!  Waiting on the steps in anticipation of what is under the Christmas Tree!  Of course the two older ones had to be dragged out of bed - but the 5 youngest were up at 5am!

This Christmas was very special, it was Griffan's first.  He shared with us he had never gotten a Christmas gift before.  We talked about how great it was that he got Christmas gifts and a family this year!  He agreed it was the best!  What he doesn't know is it is our best Christmas too.  Jeff got very emotional several times, thinking about what a special day it was for Griffan and that we were blessed with the opportunity to give him this gift of a family. 

I pray some Christmas in the future, Griffan fully understands just how special this year was.  I hope he discovers it isn't about the presents he had under the tree, but the true gift of this Christmas was........Jesus.
