Merry Christmas!

December flew by and before we knew it, it was time for Zawadi's first Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house, where Zawadi opened enough presents for ten children. She got a new bike, a wagon, and a shopping cart among many other things. We couldn't even fit it all in our car and had to have my brother bring gifts to his house for Clyde to pick up later in the week.

Then Christmas morning we celebrated with another round of gifts at home, just the three of us, followed by a big Christmas breakfast. My favorite moment is when Zawadi sat down to open her first gift. It was a toy phone and when she squeezed it and it rang, she said "OOOOHHHH!" I was so excited I was able to capture it on camera.

Later Christmas night Shirley and Achieng came over with MORE gifts and we all had dinner together. We are so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing family to celebrate these special moments with.
