It's been a great week with Alisha. She is such a JOY and we are having the best time getting to know more and more about her. Its been a busy week with a bunch of our family and friends stopping by to meet Alisha. She enjoyed all the visits and has made a few new friends (aren't they cute!).
Christmas was very special this year and our best ever. We started off the holiday by sharing Christmas Eve dinner with Pete, Annie, Melanie and Rob. Alisha attended her first dinner party and really had a good time eating her potato and making everyone laugh. We woke up Christmas morning and Jerry made a big breakfast (YUMM... Pancakes) and then we opened gifts. Alisha has received so many gifts since she has been home that she has become a pro at pulling off the wrapping paper. Later in the day, we went to Grandma Pat's for Christmas dinner. Dinner was great, especially the banana pudding and Alisha really liked meeting her aunts, uncles and cousins.
UPDATE: we took Alisha to the doctors for our post adoption evaluation. She did great and he doctor was really happy with her progress. Good news is that her finger was never broken....her tendons are restricted. We did her x-ray after the doctor visit, so we will find out more on how to treat it at our next visit early in January. Before the x-ray, we had to go to the lab for some blood work. Since, we can not be sure of her past medical information, the doctor requested alot of tests. They took about 6 viles from our little one, YIKES!
Every day is a wonderful blessing. We are enjoying every minute and are looking forward to a lifetime of smile, giggles and love with our little girl.

I have been reading the story of your journey on adopting your daughter and it brings back so many AWESOME memories of adopting my little boy Matty from Guatemala about 1 1/2 years ago. It was the best thing Tom and I have ever done and we enjoy him every single day. Good luck to the 3 of you.
