I hope you and your families had a wonderful holiday season! We sure did. We traveled to my parents home in Connecticut. We were very apprehensive on how Roy would do. We had visions of staying for 2 days & having to come right back because it would have been too much. He did WONDEFFULLY! We kept him home mostly. We had a few family members over to meet him. We were very careful to not overwhelm him. We couldn't be more proud of how (overall) well he did.
It was truly a pleasure celebrating Christmas with him. Wild to think he has most likely never experienced this. China is not a Christian country AT ALL.
It sure didn't take Roy long to get into the groove of opening gifts. Look at this face!!!
It was his first look at this pile of gifts....
JUST KIDDING! ;-) Who knows what that face was for. :-)
I was so happy to watch him to enjoy this special day, the day of our Saviors birth. I couldn't help but think of all the little kids that are still in his orphanage. It is so hard to fathom what they are missing out on. Not simply the Christmas tree & presents & excitement of this special day - but the LOVE of a forever family. FOREVER. I kept thinking....that if Roy could talk & go back to the orphanage...what he'd tell them - that he has a family who LOVES him even when he is screaming for no reason. :-) We love our SON. I pray the other kids find families soon.
This is what it's all about...
