Christmas Celebration #1:
Our first celebration was with my mother, sister, & her boys a few days before Christmas...
Christmas Celebration #2:
Asher & Mercy were so excited Christmas morning to open their stockings and gifts. It's so fun to experience this special holiday through the eyes of a young child once again...

The Christmas Story according to Asher and Mercy...
Christmas Celebration #3:
Christmas afternoon was spent at Steve's aunt's house in Claremore. They always have such delicious food & it's always fun to catch up with all of his extended family. Unfortunately, no pics were taken but yummy food was consumed ;-)
Christmas Celebration #4:
We celebrated with Steve's family the day after Christmas. My favorite part is always receiving homemade gifts from the kids that they made with their Nanny and Poppy and Steve's mother always gives me something she made, as well...
Christmas Celebration #5:
Our last Christmas celebration was at my parent's house in OKC. It was so great to see my Uncle David & Aunt Barbara from San Antonio. I haven't seen them in many years and it was their first time to meet Asher and Mercy. It was also good to see my four sisters and the cousins had fun playing outside as it was a very nice, warm winter day...
We have so much to be thankful for this Christmas season but especially for our little Mercy. This time last year she was in a babies home in Africa. It was the only life she ever knew. Now she has a family that loves her a ton and hope for a better future. She's our Christmas miracle.
