Christmas is just around the corner !




Well this is it, the week before Christmas !

We spend the week-end decorating our house for Christmas and I did most of my baking and we also had a Christmas party on Saturday night ! I also found little black angels for our Christmas tree this year and was sooo excited !

Its neat to think that this will be the last Christmas that we will spend just the two of us, we are going to relax and enjoy it as much as we can. We will spend time with friends and family (like we usualy do !) however we will still be thinking about our babies.... We have bought them a few gifts as well as depending if they are born yet or not, this could be their first Christmas !

Sometimes we are sad and sometimes feel bad of being happy during the holiday season as it is hard to know that our babies are somewhere on the other side of the world and that we don't even know about them yet. Sometimes we wonder what is going on in their little lives and if they are being held and fed and cuddled..... Of course we wish that they would be home with us for the holidays, but we know that things happen for a reason and that next year we will be able to celebrate the holidays as a family ! What a wonderful feeling that will be !

    i LOVE that wee little angel, it is so sweet. i have yet to find one.
    i know what you mean about wondering how your babies are doing. i pray everyday that they feel loved, and safe...
    We got stocking for our kids, this year, and i hope to buy a book for each of them, hopefully next year we'll all be home together too!!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

    Memories can be hard to grasp at Christmas when not all your loved ones are spending it with you. But you have to make the best of it, making memories with the ones who are here. I can't wait until you get your referral. Maybe you'll get it in time for Ganna on Jan 7. Then you can still have Christmas babies!
