We typically pull up the tree and decorate it on the day after Thanksgiving, but we all agreed to wait for Dumpling to come home this year.  I’m so glad we did.  Although it was a bit more chaotic, it was priceless to see all four children hanging ornaments together.  Absolutely priceless.  I’m not sure when the novelty of having him home will wear off, but there are so many times I look at him and want to shed tears of thanksgiving and praise.  Especially when I watch all four children together … gosh it’s just too much sometimes.  His joy.  His delight in every new experience.  The way he seamlessly fits in with the others.  The way the other children dote all over him.  It’s all so very good.
