Christmas Cookie Time

Susi chose a star for her first cookie.

Thad chose a donkey and Graci is still deciding.

Dax and Graci ready. for cookie cutting.

It didn't take long for Thad to get all the way into the cookie mess.

Dax made some great cookies and ran a close second to Thad in the messy dept.

Susi loved cutting cookies, she made lots.

Graci making her bell cookies.

My angel Kamby making an angel cookie.

Look mom, I got the most dirty!

Kisses and hugs for mommy, partly because they were happy about making cookies and partly because they thought is was funny to get me dirty. Love my boys!!!!!

Today was baking, that was enough. We will decorate tomorrow!

Yep, two years ago today, our precious Thad and Kamby said goodbye to their orphanage. It was such a special day! They have brought so much joy and laughter to our family, it is incomprehensible to think of them ever not being with us. Kamby was absolutely thrilled to celebrate Gotcha day and all day she went around telling everyone, "Happy My Gothca Day!" Thad on the other hand got something confused about today and he was very concerned that we were going to Ethiopia. LOL! So he enjoyed the day but did not want anyone wish him Happy Gotcha day. He just said, "No Gotcha day, go to play." The children's Christmas musical was performed at church this morning and he was so looking forward to it. So I think he got confused that somehow Gotcha day would interfere with him going to the musical.
