Dear Family and Friends,
This Christmas is very special for us. It is the first year that we are celebrating it as a family. Last year, we celebrated Christmas day as a couple and then I spent several days in Toronto, Canada while Matt nursed his flu and cold (which he got Christmas eve) here in Utah.
This year, we have Ben. Most of the gifts under the tree are his. We brought him to the mall to see Santa but he got scared and cried when it was our turn to sit with him. Oh, well ... maybe next year.
A few weeks ago, we got a big dump of snow and we brought him outside so he could experience his first taste of snow. He was a bit unsure at first but he got used to it and is now comfortable playing in the snow. He has his sled, his snow boots and his snow suit all ready for when we go to Durango after Christmas.
As we celebrate the birth of Christ, we specially thank God for Ben and we are grateful to you all for your prayers and support. To our parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins and our old friends, thank you for welcoming Ben into your hearts. It means so much to us.
We also remember the little angels who went home with their forever families this year.
Anna Bennett
Chloe Davis
Liberti Hughes
Laney Lewis
Malone Peterson
LiErh Wheeler
Faith Workman
The list above is only a partial list. There are lots more. We also remember our friends in the AdoptTaiwan yahoo group - those who've been in the journey before and who've given us so much support. We also remember those still waiting to bring their angels home, we hope that 'Gotcha Day' comes very soon.
We wish you and your families a very MERRY CHRISTMAS !
Love,
Matt, May and Ben
