This post is about Christmas. Yes I know it's February.
Silas had three Christmases in Bulgaria. It seemed like Christmas was a pretty big deal there. When I was on trip one they were decorating the orphanage already in the first few days of December.
I have a couple pictures of Silas from past Christmases. I am soooo thankful for these pictures! It is such a blessing to have baby pictures in an adoption and they will be treasured forever.
Baby Silas at six months old!
Already staring at his hands for entertainment. :(
There was no picture from his second Christmas but this is from his third Christmas. It must have been taken during or right after trip one. I think he was wearing those same pants the day I met him.
So Christmas 2014 was Silas' fourth Christmas. I wanted to start some Christmas traditions with him. He opened up his Hungry Caterpillar pj on Christmas Eve and wore them to bed that night. Then after breakfast on Christmas morning he opened up his gifts! He wasn't quite sure what to make of it all but he seemed to be having fun.
Later that day grandma and grandpa came over for Christmas diner and we had fun playing and hanging out.
We got together with all my siblings on the 29th. It was a bit harder of a day for Silas. Too little sleep, too much noise and commotion and he got an owie on his foot. By the end of the day he had cried himself to sleep. Poor boy!
Hanging with the uncles.
Ending the day on a very sad note. :(
We spent the next few days at my brother and sister in laws hanging out with their crew. Silas really likes spending time with his cousins. He has such a great time chasing them around the house. :)
So there you have it. A pretty simple, typical Christmas with family for the first time in his life and it's all thanks to the generous people who donated, helped with fundraisers and prayed for us. Thank you for making that possible!
