Here is a new pic of my darling Eden. One week until I am holding her in my arms!

Christmas Day!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Today was a great day. We had about 21 people at my house. My sister and I cooked dinner. We had ham, roast, candied yams, salad, lots of sweets, and burnt green bean casserole!

Everyone had a fun time. The kids got what they wanted. Elijah got guinea pigs and a camera, Noah got a PSP. Louie and Imani got toys. Blanca got some preteen girl stuff but her present is her trip with me to Ethiopia.

Rick took a bunch of family out to the pasture on the 4wheelers and pulled them on inner tubes with the tractor. We have alot of snow so it was fun. I think the best part of the day was watching my over six foot tall uncles on kid sized 4 wheelers driving about 2 miles an hour!

Today was just a really good day. I am now preparing to leave on Jan. 1 to go get my beautiful Eden. Life couldn't be better.

Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. We had a great time going over for dinner after church. The kids opened a couple of presents and we hung out with aunts, uncle's, cousins, my sister, great grandma and grandpa.

Six days until I leave to pick up my little girl!

This is Rick's Christmas present. His name is Zues and he is awesome!

Elijah and Louie having a blast in the snow!

My little Imani might crawl soon and I hope it is not while I am in Ethiopia! She is 8 months old and loves all the happenings at the Perez house.
