Christmas

So much Thankfulness filled my heart this Christmas in more ways than one. 
Most importantly by all what Christ has done for me.... what did I do to deserve this blessed life I ask? Nothing .. absolutely nothing. It's only by Him that he has chosen to bless my life and for that I am more than thankful for and humbled by. 
Thankful for the adoption of Cruz.... Thinking back a year ago and how we "lost:" little M. What a year it has been ... on bended knees crying out asking/pleading for a child. Thankful.. for that time where I never have felt so close to HIM!  Thankful... that God is so faithful!! Blessed to have Cruz and can't imagine life without him! 
Thankful for my God leading man/my help mate who leads our home.. thankful for my girls too and how much happiness they bring me!:) 
Thankful ... that's what I felt this Christmas. 

It was a fun time celebrating with the kids. I feel like they are @ such fun ages!

Catching up on Pics:)

I knew this was going to happen... THINKING the blogging world would make it easier to catch up on pictures and everyday life ... ha! Not the case but...I try;) Catching up since before Christmas....

A month and half ago we went on the Polar Express. What a fun experience with the kiddos. We relived a lot of things just like the movie. But first we started off the night with Monicals...

 We got to the the train station a little early and they had crafts/coloring to do while they waited.
