For Christmas, we wanted to keep it low key. We've been so busy lately with Home Depot and Ikea runs, it was nice to take a break. During our house fire and subsequent, we accumulated thousands of hotel loyalty points. We booked a trip to Mexico before we had the referral. It worked out perfectly, though, it was our babymoon :) We had a relaxing vacation and told all the families to skip the gifts. We sent both grandparents a Hungarian house blesssing Christmas ornament:

But the best news is the adoption tax credit was extended in the "fiscal cliff" deal. You can read more about it: http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2013/01/04/cliff-deal-made-adoption-tax-credit-permanent.html
There have been some changes, but as it stands now, though no longer refundable- families that earn less than $150,000 can claim the full $10,000. This is the best Christmas gift for families and children in the United States. This helps put adoption back into reach for many families.
