We have been so blessed this year. Christmas is the perfect time to look back on all that we have been given. We have always valued our families, but since becoming our own little family, it has become even more important to us. This year I was expecting Christmas to be really difficult. And in some ways it was. We had a lot of changes this year, and Justin and I were trying to start our own traditions for our new family. But what we got was so much better than I had ever hoped. Everyone was so understanding when we told them we wanted some alone time with Colt on Christmas morning. We explained that we didn't want to run from house to house and EVERYONE helped us move Christmas celebrations around so we could do that.
We were able to spend several hours with each family, without feeling rushed and leaving as soon as we were done opening presents. It was relaxing and so much more of what we have always wanted. On our way home tonight we drove through the Christmas lights and talked and cried, thinking about how blessed we are to have Colt after our scare in the beginning. I am so happy we have our family and I cannot thank God enough for His gift to us. This has been the best Christmas ever!
