Family Day!

Take one
Take two
Take three

This past weekend we celebrated our 1 year anniversary of meeting Abigia and Eldana in Ethiopia.
We had a great celebration! On Saturday we ate dinner at the Ethiopian restaurant with the other Ethiopian adoptive families we know and that was a great time (as always!). Then we went and played around at a park before we rode one of the inclines up a hill to overlook the city. The kids loved this and thought it was really great. I remember riding this with my dad so it brought up some really nice memories. After this we went to Sarris Candies (the happiest place on Earth) for a giant ice cream sundae for dinner! Tia met us there to help celebrate and believe it or not, the kids loved the whole ice cream-for-dinner thing, too.
It was a really fun day.
What a wild year! Looking back at the old pictures was really fun. The kids have grown so much!

I love this... one of our first family pictures! This was taken
on the day we got to Ethiopia, just shortly after we met.

"take 2" is what happens when you ask eliana to show teeth.

i was so touched to share such a special day, thank you for the experience.
