CHRISTmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas! After a LONG drive to Kansas (and a failed attempt to make it one day, we opted to stay in a hotel in Colby, KS---Just couldn't do the 15 hours in one day!) :) We made it to Wichita on Christmas eve day. We so enjoyed spending lazy time with the family and watching Maddie enjoy her very first Christmas! We spent a great deal of time visiting Kylie's Wichita friends and even made a trip up north to visit family again. It was such a blessed time. On the way back we stopped in Colorado Springs and visited our best friends Karl and Amy and Matthew, Julie and Addy! We stayed up till 1:30 am gabbing! Daisie really enjoyed her visit to Grammie and Grampie's and the squirrels galore! Finally, she enjoyed frolicking with Emma, her very best doggie friend in the whole wide world!

We decided not to do Christmas cards this year and in turn to use the money to donate to our baby fund and give some funds to our neighbors who just lost their husband/dad.
We still did a little family photo shoot. Daisie was not amused! We can't wait to have professional photos done next year! There is an awesome website of photographers who donate FREE services for families who have adopted! We also can't wait to enjoy our best friend Amy's services (she took the Yellowstone photos previous posted!)

Adorable, beautiful Madison Grace! Her outfit cracks me up!

Ready for Christmas!

Let's do this!

Maddie enjoyed the paper and bows as much as the gifts!
