Our family Christmas was so memorable this year!
We were finally able to celebrate Christmas as a COMPLETE family! If you have followed my family’s story, then you know that our youngest daughter, Phoebe, finally came home from Africa this year after a lengthy 4 year adoption.
Praise the Lord!
Here are my 4 girls anxiously waiting on the stairs on Christmas morning before we let them go see what is under the tree!
Our Christmas was full of so many first time experiences for Phoebe!
Making Christmas cookies at Nana’s house
Making graham cracker gingerbread houses
Christmas breakfast
And of course….
Opening presents!
Now that Christmas is over, it’s time to start thinking about New Year’s Eve!
I tend to be a last minute planner when it comes to New Year’s Eve because all of my energy has been put into Christmas.
If that is you, then here are some really easy and quick appetizers that you can put together for a fun New Year’s Eve party! All recipes are gluten free- yay!
Sausage Cream Cheese Dip (one of my Favs!)
Michelle says
Congratulations on the adoption! God bless your beautiful family!
Sarah Anne says
Thank you so much, Michelle! We feel so blessed to have her home and to call her ours! God bless you as well!
Amy @ The Quiet Homemaker says
Congratulations! I know that you all are super excited to finally have her home! All the food looks so yummy! I do not really do New Year’s plans, it has never been a big thing around here. Maybe because I am too tired from Christmas! LOL! Hope you all have a great time!
Sarah Anne says
Thank you so much, Amy! We are so relieved and happy that she is home! I totally understand about being too tired from Christmas, I am with ya there! I find the best way to do New Years Eve is to do it with others, that way not one person is doing all the cooking! I hope that you have a Happy New Year!
