THE KURTZ FAMILY........OUR ADOPTION JOURNEY

We put up our christmas tree on the weekend. The girls were especially excited as this is their first Canadian christmas and also their first christmas with us. Last year we didn't know their faces and this year they are part of our family.....a lot has changed in a year. Anyway they had fun!! I had 4 helpers to put the tree up....Kyle, Sam, Denaye and Maya. They all did a really good job. Everytime we do something like deocrate the tree, put garland on the fireplace, etc.....Maya thanks me and hugs me for doing this. I can't wait untill we can have a real conversation and she can really express herself in her own words what she is thinking and feeling.....for now I'll take the hugs......they say a whole lot without saying anything at all.

It's official...the Holiday Season has started at the Kurtz house.....bring it on.
