Merry Christmas...my favorite Christmas video

The last two years our family watched this video and listened to this song in anticipation of who our baby girl was living a half a world away in China. Last year we knew all about her from reports from her foster parents and her little picture was embedded in our heads...yet she wasn't home from Christmas. Now, in God's perfect timing our Gabriella Grace Hao IS home for Christmas and it couldn't be any more perfect! I hope you enjoy the video by Third Day...please stop the music at the bottom of the blog so you can enjoy the song with the video:)

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

The night before Gabriella was placed in our arms, in Taiyuan China, there was the most beautiful snowfall. We talked about wondering how well she would like the snow. As Taiyuan was a very large coal mining city, the snow did not stay white for more than a few minutes. Though it didn't snow a lot today, Gabriella smiled from ear to ear for the first thirty minutes she was awake:) We also discussed building a snowman, which we will need just a little more snow to do, warm cozy mittens and hot chocolate with marsh mellows ~ something tells me our little girl is going to love our Midwest winters:)
