Oh Christmas tree

    We began our weekend by going to pick out our christmas tree. We loaded it into the truck bed and then carried it into the house.  The whole time I kept thinking this just may be our last Christmas with just the two of us. 
    Today was a day spent decorating the Christmas tree.  As I hung every ornament on the tree, I couldn't help but hope and pray that next year would be our babies first Christmas.   We would hang an extra stocking on the fireplace and a "babies 1st Christmas" ornament on the tree.  I hope and pray our wish for next year comes true.   I dream of putting out homemade ornaments made by our children, stringing popcorn around the tree and singing Christmas carols as we decorate the tree together.
Tomorrow will mark 8 months since we started down the road to adoption and this week it will be 1 month of waiting for a match.   I've never wished time away, but I'm ready for 2013 to arrive because when it does, it hopefully will bring us the best gift we will ever receive, an extra stocking, and we will be a family of 3.
