Sasha’s first Texas Christmas
December 27, 2007 | 1 Comment
As you can imagine Christmas was a little different this year. But not too much. Sasha was finally with us and was able to enjoy his first Texas Christmas. We toned things down a little this year so as not to completely overwhelm him. The girls were completely amazed that he actually slept in for the first time since he’s been with us. And ON CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!!!???? I’m sure next year will be a different story though. He got a new bike (which he loves!) and a few other small gifts like hot wheels and a remote control car (he really has a thing for cars). We spent the first few hours relaxing and sitting around the house opening gifts and just enjoying our time together. Then we loaded up and headed to Stacy’s folks in OK. We had a great visit there too but I think Sasha was more than a little surprised (and scared for the first little while) by the reception he received when we arrived. But after a few minutes he didn’t feel quite so overwhelmed and ended up getting to know some of his new cousins. And they, in turn, learned a few Russian phrases. So, all in all, I’d say it was a win-win for all involved.

Randy, Mom and I enjoyed viewing this website and seeing a picture of your new son. I know you, Stacy, and the girls are so excited to have him as part of your family. He is so adoreable. I can’t wait to see him. I was telling your dad that we need to have a family reunion and get all of us together. We all need that. Your girls are both beautiful and I know that you and Stacy are proud of your 3 kids. Hope to see you soon. Tell everyone that we said hello.
