Rally Point...

I've been counting down all week for Christmas. We have completed our lists and checked them twice. Presents are wrapped and food is just waiting to be gobbled. We are ALL completely excited for the big day. Tonight though, I realized the count down has changed from a Christmas day count down, to a count down of when my Gracie Girl will come home. This week is her bioMom's part of the Christmas holiday, and ours will start Christmas day at 1 pm. She has been gone 3 days. 3 days!! And I still have 2.5 days to go..

Oy.

Jaxman said at dinner tonight, that he is saving his presents to open for when his little sister comes home, so she won't be alone opening her presents. His heart is the best. Selfishness has never reared its ugly head around this humble young man of mine. I hope his little sisters will soak up his awesomeness..

So we will wait. Wait with all the patience we can rally up for Christmas morning and more importantly - the return of the missing piece of our "yiddle" family...it'll literally be "like Christmas" on Christmas, when our Gracie Girl is back home.
