A Day of First Thanksgiving
Our holidays seem to be full of excitement with two new little one added to our family. Thanksgiving seems to be a perfect one to for their first. As food was prepared and family and friends gathered Varvara and Matvey fit in as if they were never gone. I though of their life back not just two weeks ago. A life that seemed hopeless in the eyes of others. It was just a month ago we stood in the court room fighting for the right to give them a life. If only the courts could be fly on the wall now. This is what they would see........
 |
| An auntie who adores them. |
 |
| Grandpa and Grandma who loved them as their own. |
 |
| A big sister who plays when ever they need a friend. |
 |
| Fuzzy cousins too! (Izzy) |
 |
| They would see a princess who held perfectly still to get her nails painted on this big day of Thanks. |
 |
| A mommy who loves them with all her heart. |
 |
| Not only would they see the love of a family but also the love this girl has for FOOD! |
 |
| They also would see our multicultural family. Aleena was adopted four years ago from Ethiopia. |
 |
| Abigail and my niece Veda |
 |
| Dinner time and Matvey was not wanting to take pictures |
 |
| They would see a little boy who is starting to become the little boy he was meant to be. |
 |
| Big brother Keegan; he takes his job very serious. There is nothing like having a big brother by your side. |
 |
| A famliy who is so happy their home. |
 |
| Family is just irreplaceable. I am so thankful for the love of my family. They have been nothing but supportive. They have shared this amazing journey with us and I could not be any happier to share the joy of Varvara and Matvey. I am thankful for the grace of God and his promises. I am thankful that I have faith to hold on to those promises no matter what anyone says or does. I am thankful for all the people God spoke through and for all the prayerS that were said on our babies behalf. Each time I think back on the past year I am just humbled and amazed that God choose us for this mission. I am so thankful that my family is complete  |
