It was so much fun to have Olive with us this year for Christmas...she was the best present for everyone of us...we couldn't have asked for a more blessed year. We started the adoption process, finished the adoption process, and found out we are going to have another little munchkin here next year! God has truly blessed us.
Here are some Christmas morning pictures...
ender with his new train table (Thomas is his obsession!)
so handsome (even with the baby noopy)
olive opening presents from Santa with daddy...
For Christmas this year (let me see if I can remember ;) we had Christmas day with the Landry side of the family
Eli in his new big boy chair
...and of course more Thomas...
Olive opening her gifts...
and Sunday (a couple days after Christmas) we spent with
the Hayden side...it was a "Who Dat?" Christmas!
now he thinks he IS thomas!
(we found out when we got home Sunday night that we are having another baby, so that was a big day!)
And here are some recent pictures of the kids playing
look how much bigger he is...it's hard to believe these two are 11 months apart!
they were loving each other!

her CHEESEY smile
our little "wild thing"
Natalie, I stumbled across your blog last night. My husband and I are in the process of adopting and actually had our first homestudy visit last night. Our plans are to adopt from Uganda, but there are a lot of issues going on there right now. The U.S. is not granting any visas until some changes occur. So, we thought, what is our plan if Uganda is not an option. Our original plans were to adopt from Ethiopia, but the whole 2 year wait seemed sooo long. I stumbled across your blog and noticed how quick this process was for you:) Could you fill me in on your process? We are now using a smaller agency. My email is melissaq99@msn.com and my phone number is 260-466-0635. Your little Olive is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!
