The celebrating continues!







So, yesterday was another Christmas party for our family. We went to my parents' house for food, fun, games, and more presents! It was great because my Uncle Rick and Aunt Val were there, with my cousins and their significant others. Although they all live in state, we still don't see each other often enough!! Lily has really come out of her shell since they had seen her last, so it was really exciting to watch her interact openly with everyone. She held my uncle's hand and led him to the back room to show him the Christmas tree, she gave ready hugs and even snuggled up to a couple of them. It was awesome. They all commented on the big change in her, and it was really a big deal to everyone. (including me) I know all too well how hard it is to wait for her love and affection. So, the evening was a great success. The only drawback was the fact that my aunt and cousin weren't there. They are celebrating in Florida, but we all lived in MI growing up , and still haven't totally adjusted to NOT spending the holidays together.






This will be my last post for several days, because we are heading to the west side of the state to spend the rest of the holiday with the inlaws! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my inlaws. I married into one of the greatest families on the planet, and I am so excited to go. We will be back Wednesday and I will tell all about the trip.






Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!
