Of course, this year we were excited to introduce Joseph to some of the American traditions surrounding the celebration of Christ's birth as well. He thought our Santa tradition was pretty fun and enjoyed some fun gifts as well.
He thinks the fact that one of the Wise Men may have come from Ethiopia is pretty cool. We attended a Birthday Party for Jesus in St. Louis and he was able to dress up as the Wise Man bearing frankincense.
And, as you can see behind Joseph, we had 4 stockings hanging this Christmas. The last one we are hoping will be for Joseph's older brother. We have no new news at this time and are still waiting on some paperwork, but hope that we can be matched within the next month or two. We will keep you updated.
Happy Birthday Jesus! Melkam Genna and Merry Christmas!
Awesome blog and story on Joseph's behalf! He is blessed with two very loving parents.
