We went to lunch at In N Out and then headed to Disneyland for the rest of the day and had a wonderful time. We all wore We're celebrating pins so all the cast members were asking what we were celebrating and the kids were sooo excited to tell everyone that they had just been adopted.

Christmas 2009

Christmas was wonderful! We spent Christmas Eve at Jeremy'sparents house. It was very different this year as it was the first Christmas without their dad. Then we had a great Christmas morning at home with the kids.

and Jeffrey (3 mths)

After a nice morning at home we went to my parents house for Christmas dinner and to open gifts.
The picture above was our final clue to the gift we were all getting. My mom being the creative person she is thought all this up. Each person got a gift. I got an umbrella, the boys got kites, Jeremy got a clock, Alyssa got a large purse, Abbie got a carasol horse figurine and I dont remember what Brandon got. But between all thoseclues and the letters. We figured out that we were getting tickets to Mary Poppins.
It was a great show! We had a blast.
