Finally, after waiting for so long, we celebrated Christmas as a family of 3! It was amazing; we had so much fun and experienced such joy in having Emily home to celebrate with us. Our first Christmas event was taking Emily to Chic-Fil-A where she saw her first Christmas lights. For those of you here in Tampa, you know the store over on Waters, puts on a huge and beautiful Christmas light display. Emily loved the lights and music! We did all of the typical Christmas things - stood in line to see Santa, holiday parties, shopped and then shopped some more, decorated the whole house, wrapped presents and anticipated how she would react to her first Christmas . I'm not sure who was more excited us, her grandparents or her!

It was awesome to see Christmas through a little one's eyes again. Emily took her time unwrapping her presents and savored each one. She loved to help everyone else and all the attention. The day was filled with giggles, smiles, family, food, fun and lots of love. Our best and most precious gift was having our daughter home, wrapped in our arms and love!
