Back on September 19th, Jarred and I were called about possibly getting two more kids. One is a 12 year old boy, S, and a four year old little girl, K. We didn't know much after that initial call so we didn't talk much about them. Then in October we were called and officially asked about fostering to adopt the two kids. Jarred and I took some time to think about it, but eventually we decided that we would try it and see how it worked with our family. On December 13th, S was able to move in with us and started school in our school district. His sister moved in on December 16th. Before they moved in we got to spend every weekend with S and one weekend with both of them. They get along really well with the boys and they are such a great addition to our family. It is a crazy thing to go from 0 to 4 kids in one year.
Our Christmas this year was so much different then what it has been. I really liked having kids to buy for and especially little kids. It was neat to wake up and open presents with them. We did have a crazy time for this holiday break though. We went to Jarreds parents to have Christmas on the 23rd and Christmas Eve with his extended Jagger side. Then after the Christmas Eve dinner we drove home so that our kids could wake up at home on Christmas Day. Before going to bed the kids got to here The Night Before Christmas story on the iPad. We woke up on Christmas Day and read the bible Christmas story. Then we had the kids go downstairs and sit on the couch while we made cocoa and toast for breakfast. They all really loved having it. Then they were able to open their stockings and presents. After all presents were opened and we were ready we drove to Anderson in order to spend time with my family. Before leaving for Anderson I got a text from my oldest sister Daisha, she got engaged! We stayed in Anderson for two nights. It has been a great Christmas this year. Now we are getting ready for Landon's birthday party which is in four days.
