Nevie's First Christmas!

Christmas at our house was fabulous! We were so blessed this year to have Nevie in our lives. She looked so cute in her red Christmas dress. The whole family came to our house to celebrate. We all hung out and snacked until it was time to go to midnight Mass. Mass was beautiful and we felt such a sense of happiness and peace holding Nevie in our arms while singing the hymns and Christmas carols. Nevie slept through most of it. :) After church, we all came back to our house for delicious appetizers and sweets. We opened gifts from one another, laughed and had a great time. On Christmas day we went over to my sister's house for our traditional Christmas lunch. That evening we had a wonderful chat with Nevie's birth mom over skype. It was the first time we used skype and so the first time we had seen Nevie's birth mom and vice versa since Nev was a month old. It was really great to see her and her family and we think she was really happy to see Nev, which in turn made us happy. That night, we stood back and marveled at the blessings God has bestowed upon us. We are forever grateful.
