We were so thankful to have her here with us to celebrate the birth of Christ. Georgea was our gift and our joy on Christmas day.
Enjoying some holiday fun with Alexa the Sunday before Christmas.
Checking out the tree. Georgea was very unsure of the Christmas tree initially. These photos were taken a few days prior to Christmas and she still wanted one of us right next to her while she curiously investigated the funny green thing with lights. She did do some tugging on & pulling down of ornaments, which was very entertaining for her.
Staring at the tree. Fascinated & tentative.
My Dad is in AZ for the winter, so we had the joy of his company on Christmas day. Dad was enjoying his morning coffee out by the fire pit. Georgea loves having her "Haba" here. 
Christmas day gift opening.
Vida had to get in on the action, of course.
Georgea loved this "Kai Lan" bubble maker. She adores all things Kai Lan.
Giving Kai Lan the "lean of love."
Tragedy strikes. Mama handed the Kai Lan toy to Grandpa to have him remove all the packaging, and baby girl did not understand.
More "give me back my Kai Lan!" drama.
" Hi Kai Lan. I love you."
Georgea was spoiled by her Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends.
Christmas day disarray. Love it!
Merry Christmas Dad. Trail runners, in anticipation of some time spent on the many nearby hiking trails.
Our Christmas was a day of relaxation, celebration and reflection. We sure missed my Mom today. And, we sure are thankful that God gave us the sweet distraction of our baby girl. Merry Christmas to all.

Such a beautiful Christmas with Georgea home. I know your heart is still heavy & missing your Mom, but I couldn't think of anyone else to help ease the pain other than that sweet girl of yours. I remember her doing the 'lean of love' in China and think it's an adorable trait that she has held on to. & the drama tears of her Kai Lan being taken away is nothing short of priceless.
Give that girl her Kai Lan!! So glad she liked it! : )
Love all of the photos of Georgea's first Christmas. I know it was a tough one this year but your photos are a testament that joy can still surround you.
Of course loving the photo of our girls!!!
