There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

DECEMBER 25, 2014 -- CHRISTMAS DAY

CHRISTMAS DAY
December 25, 2014

A day of celebration and a gift giving.

Everyone is ready for the Christmas races!!!  We are all gathered in Dad and Mom's room and are clarifying the rules for the race and the path that everyone will run.  Ready to race!











Here we go to see what Santa has brought!  We always line up youngest to oldest!  Can you tell me how David got in front of Mason?????


















Bethany likes to be the one to pass out presents.  Everyone gets 1 present to open and then we go around and see what everyone received.  It spreads out the fun and lets us all see what is going on.
