Christmas Time.....

So here is a picture from the courthouse when we finalized the girl's adoptions! It was such a great day! One of the other things we had REALLY wanted to do & haven't been able to is pierce the girls' ears! I had mine done as a baby & I think the younger the better. So as soon as we left the courthouse we headed to get their ears pierced! Both of the girls did really well. Everly was surprised by the first one, but she REALLY wanted it so she held still & let them do the second one. Delilah cried, but only because she was MAD! Also I had custom  shirts made for all 3 kids, they came out really adorable & we got TONS of compliments on them, I ordered them from The Lion & The Unicorn.

 

We barely had time to let the adoption sink in & Christmas was here! The kids were so excited & it was a really special day. We got up early & opened presents. We had a great lunch & then we took a 3 hour nap! It was amazing! You can't tell from the picture below, but the kids were excited.... Just not excited to take a picture!!

In the pictures below Lyla was devastated I took her new baby from her so Daddy could cut it out of the plastic. Then the world was right again because Daddy gave it back!

Everly really "got" Christmas this year! She was so excited to open gifts, she even climbed on top of them! She was a beast!

Tuck obviously gets Christmas! We got him a Kindle Fire & he really loved it! I know a lot of people think its crazy for a 6 year old to own a tablet but it costs the same as a Nintendo DS & the games are cheaper! He can also have books & kids magazines to read all the time!

Overall it was a really great day. I'm not sure it has all sunk in really, its just been such a long road! We're just really enjoying these days!
