LAYLA AND THE GIANT TREE

Yesterday Kevin spent the morning introducing Layla to her first big snow storm. He sat her by our front window and she loved watching the gentle flakes fall slowly to the ground outside. We bundled her up and headed the Robinsons Tree Farm in Kaysville and picked out the fattest, most perfect tree we could find that fit into our budget. I'm staring at it right now and it's the most beautiful tree we've ever had. Layla slept though most of it but smiled when she saw the tree strapped to the top of our little car. She loves being outside and seemed to enjoy the cold snowy air on her nose.

Kevin and I have stayed up late at night talking about how much it means to us to share our traditions with Layla now and how much more meaningful the holidays are now that we are parents. We love Layla more than anything on this Earth and we feel SO blessed and privileged to be the family we are today. We know that she is too young to understand Christmas now, but we look foreword to teaching her about Christ's birth and reason behind the season of Christmas. Not a day goes by that we don't think of and pray of our gratitude for God and Layla's birth-families. We hope you are all well and finding joy in this Christmas season.
