We officially had our first holiday with Ella. It was wonderful. All of our family that lives close to us was here and it was a really nice day. Everyone has their favorite recipes to make and they make it well, so all was good. I always stress a little about the turkey but even that turned out fine. Ella took the longest nap since she's been home. She fell asleep in her highchair and didn't even wake up when I moved her to the bed. I think I'm gonna cook some more turkey and freeze it for those days she won't take a nap!!
All in all, everything is going fine. She is still adjusting well with no problems. Her exercises are coming along nicely. We found a way to get her to do them without too much fussing....candy. She gets one Reeses Pieces after every exercise so she does them willingly now.
Now that Christmas is around the corner it's getting exciting around here. I can't wait to see her face when she wakes up to see what Santa has brought her. I am just about through shopping for all of the kids and the weather has been pretty cold lately so it's really starting to feel like the Christmas season is upon us.

UNTIL FOREVER
This morning in China a mother cries
She'll never forget her daughter's eyes
Her heart is broken and filled with pain
Her tears run down like the falling rain.
She has no choice but to leave her there
The cost of keeping is too much to bear.
She hopes her daughter will one day know
True love can be found in letting her go.
This morning in China a baby cries
Hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes
Her mother has left her in this public place
Another lost daughter of the Chinese race.
Someone passing has heard her soft moan
She is soon taken to a foster home.
It's here she'll reside in the care of another
Until she's adopted by a brand new mother.
That very same day in the U.S.A.
A woman cries as she starts to pray
Her heart is heavy but filled with much love
She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of
"Dear Jesus, I ask that your arms would be
Wrapped tightly around the one picked for me
Guard her in China until I make my way
and then in my arms she'll forever stay."

Ye have received the Sprit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Beautiful pictures! She almost looks like she is gripping the plate! I hope her exercises continue to go well.
Happy holidays.
