| our Christmas tree |
Grammy and Grampa arrived TODAY from Ohio for Christmas, with their pug, Henry, en tote too-Rejoice! Over a month of phone calls back and forth to the pharmacy, insurance companies, and pediatricians, Lucia was finally approved TODAY for an important, (yet very expensive for insurance), RSV bacteria fighting shot- Hallelujah! Having skipped a birth announcement, not on purpose, we busted out our Christmas cards, and they are in the mail TODAY, with Lucia looking pretty as a princess! Lucia also had a much needed dirty diaper TODAY, which put her in a good mood! There is snow on the ground, our cactus, Henry is adorned by ornaments and lights, including a very special painted wooden cross from Lucia's friend, Shaw Richter. Little Lu also received an amazingly beautiful sterling silver Saint Lucia necklace from the O'Donnells-THANK YOU. And mommy did some online Christmas shopping for the first time this season. It is beginning to look and feel a lot like Christmas.

We just took our nightly bath and Lucia gave her mommy and daddy at least three beautiful smiles...ahhhh...the light is shining bright tonight. Jesus is the reason for the season, and we hope and pray that our light will shine bright this week and throughout the New Year.
Thank you Richters for the cross, thank you O'Donnells for the very special necklace engraved with Lucia's name. Thank you sister Courtney for purchasing two Lucia Light t-shirts and thank you so many for your beautiful Holiday Cards!
Five Days until Christmas...Have a blessed, merry and bright Christmas.
Love,
The Dawkins Family

Merry Christmas Lucia and family! We hope you guys have a very blessed Christmas! We are enjoying family and remembering His birth and all that it brought for us! Praying that 2012 is a healthy year of big steps for Lucia and my girls. So glad Lucia is getting the RSV vaccine, my girls both got RSV and it was awful and we ended up in the ER and almost admitted. Our fall has been so hectic and chaotic, but I so want to get together! We have a small Christmas gift for Lucia that we want to give her. We got a negative result on one of our genetic screening, which is good b/c it was an awful syndrome. We are still waiting on the other more generalized screen. Let's keep in touch and get together soon! Oh, we had a button emergency this weekend. The balloon burst and the button fell out! We were scheduled to have our first replacement next week, so it required a quick trip to the ER. Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful family ! The candle shining on her precious face said it all . As Jule said, Lu was sent down by God above to teach us all about life and love and she does that everyday in so many ways - a smile, a giggle , saying Da Da and just having her big blue eyes connect with us makes us feel so blessed. We all love our little Lubird!!! Grammy
