Tree Trimming and a story of two very special gingerbread...

We could not wait to hang this ornament on the tree as Gabriella is

home with our family for Christmas this year!

I have always loved precious moments and received this during a Christmas exchange in 1991...I think God was dropping hints we may have a beautiful Asian daughter even twenty years ago! God is awesome!

Gabriella hanging her first Christmas ornament on the tree:)

She chose a teddy bear to hang first:)

She was having a wonderful time listening to Christmas music and hanging ornaments on the tree...



did I happen mention she was quite proud of herself too:)




I have had this ornament for several years as well...anyone who knows Gabriella well knows that she loves the moon...she likes this ornament too:)





This is where you may want to grab a tissue. Gabriella decided this was a "mama gingerbread" and gave her kiss when she hung it on the tree.








A little later she chose to hang this "baby girl gingerbread on the tree". She found a spot for the baby half way around the tree and placed it just so...yet in a few seconds she ran back and removed it saying "no, not there"...

She then brought the baby girl gingerbread from half way around the tree and hung it on the very same branch with the mama gingerbread and said "there, now the baby girl is home with her mama"...I couldn't have said it better myself. Our baby girl is indeed home with her family and yes her mama too:)
