*Addalie waking up Christmas morning.  (i am SO bummed..i didn't get a picture of Jyla when she was waking up...probably because it was way early.=))

 tons of excitement with a 2 & 3 year old on Christmas morning!

 all it takes is stickers & silly bands & they are H A P P Y ! ! (i know it won't always be this easy.)

 reading the Christmas story.  (despite what it looks like, Addalie was actually very "into" it.)

my "music" girl!

 at grandpa & grandma stoltzfus's house for the evening.  blowing out the candle on Jesus' birthday cake!

 the 3 stooges.....

reading the Christmas story with grandpa.

another birthday cake for Jesus at grandma jane's house the next day.

giving grandma jane a pearl necklace that we bought in China.


We had a great Christmas & were so blessed to have Jyla with us!
She had a few difficult "spots" (on Christmas day especially)
as she was overwhelmed with the presents & the festivites & lack of sleep...
but all in all we have good memories of our 1rst Christmas with Jyla!
