Christmas 2012!

This was our first Christmas with Warren. Last Christmas we were just starting our homestudy and he was in his orphanage in China! We had a very busy month with all the Christmas celebrations and birthday parties! The month started with our local COFCC holiday party where they also welcomed all the new families who came home from China this year. We did this for Jaden 4 years ago and now we had to do it for Warren!
He also got to sit with the man in red but he was not to thrilled about it!
He got to do crafts...
He got to go to Matthew's birthday party...
He painted for the first and last time...
He has a new cheesy smile...
He went to his first Santa party and felt a lot more comfortable around the guy in red!
He got to decorate cookies...
He got to meet his cousins Chase and Eliza and have his first "Christmas"...
He flashed a few more of his trademark smiles...
He had his 2nd Christmas where he got to open a present from mom and dad and one from Jaden..
He went to Dayton where he had his 3rd Christmas with Rusty's side of the family...
On Christmas day he woke up to all the presents that Santa had left for him!
He got to celebrate Christmas one last time when my parents came in Christmas night...
He got to play in his first snow!
He also got to go to Emma's birthday tea party...
And in between all the parties he has made some time to just be his silly self...
He also got the much anticipated Certificate of Citizenship on Christmas Eve!
Now we are going to take a quick break to relax from the Christmas chaos!
