Our Christmas Miracle

Christmas is about the miracle of Jesus.
Jesus is all about miracles.
This Christmas my family and I 
truly experienced a miracle.
The miracle that Jesus performed
through my nephew Travis. 
We have been blessed beyond measure.
 We loaded up after Santa came to see us
and headed to Austin to be together
as a family for Christmas Day.
We wouldn't have it any other way!!!
 Do you see the JOY in my eyes?
After dreading the holidays under our
circumstances, my family and I realized that
it doesn't matter where you are or how you
are...ALL that matters is that you are together. 
 Travis was so proud to have us all there.  :)
 My kids knew no different...
of course we would go and be with Travis!!!
 I love this kid!!!
 Trav's speech therapist helped him
type that note for his hospital door! 
 Lynna's dear friend, Andrea, made
Travis this Superman wreath...
 Teary eyed PaPa...it was an emotional day.
 But we are always enlightened by each other!!!
 We set up our Christmas celebration in the
cafeteria (no food though since Trav can't eat).
We all had special gifts for Travis...
 Walker had bought him some Star Wars
PJ's...although not Superman...Travis
did always love Star Wars!
 Gorgeous Aunt Lynna bought
Hadlee this adorable SuperGirl hoodie!
 My guys...
 The kids had no trouble opening gifts there!  ;)
 We were glad to have Scott celebrate with us! 
 Handsome Happy Hunter
 Lynna got Dad a razor like the one he had
been using to shave Travis every week. 
 Sweetest Grandmother there EVER was...
 Aunt Lynna bought this for Hudson!!!  ;)
 Thank you, Grandmother & PaPa!
 Then it was time to give Travis
his big present from all of his
aunts and uncles.........
 An iPad so he could begin to
communicate with us!!!
 Troy had already put lots of
 pictures on it for him!
 Calvin played doll with Haddie;)
 Sweet Girl loves "Haley"!
 Legos, Legos, Legos
 Mother was so surprised by her ornaments I had
fixed for her.  She knew her plan had worked!;)))
I love my beautiful mother so very much!
 Uncle Troy spent the rest of the day working
with Trav on the iPad!
 Facebook!!!
We all just made ourselves at home...
 It was so incredible to see Travis respond
to Hudson like this...reaching out to tickle him.
UHHHH-may-ZING
 It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's...............
 These two have become like brothers through
the course of this year...
 Posting Christmas Miracle pictures on Facebook!:)
 Merry Christmas from the
Pierce Party of Five
 It was definitely a Christmas I will
NEVER, EVER
forget...
 It was one that I should never have dreaded.
God has seen us through so much...
and our Christmas as a family surrounding
Travis was the BEST one EVER.
 Travis is our miracle!!!
 “For with God nothing will be impossible.”
Luke 1:37
So thankful for our Superman
and continuing to pray for many more
miracles!!!
