Christmas Eve was a busy one... We had a wonderful week before of Camie, Neil and her mom here. We shared a big dinner a few days before they headed home... I can't tell you how much fun it was having them here. We shared in their new joy.. Kiptyn... talk about a great gift..

I was so excited to be a part of this adoption.. It made my heart happy. I couldnt help but think of Kyndal and that they were probably with eachother days before he was born... We snuggled him for a few days.. and he had his first sleepover at my house.. ( since they were staying here)
It was wonderful to be a part of. And I would do it all over again TOMORROW if I could!

Kiptyn and me... Aunt Cori

the proudest momma around.. Camie and Kiptyn.. Her hubby Neil is proud too.. I just don't have a picture with him in it.. sorry Neil..

Case's creation from preschool.. He was so excited and proud of it.

We went to see Kyndal's grave on Christmas eve also. These pictures were from a few weeks before Christmas.. We decorated her tree..

A few weeks before we made our traditional gingerbread house. It's always fun times.

The finished product.. and two happy cheesy boys..

We had a wonderful Christmas season. More pictures of the actual day.. but here were a few from our preChristmas... We are truly blessed.. with wonderful family and friends. We missed spending it with family, but love the traditions we are making with our little family.
