A Very Special Birthday!!!



Gabriella was invited to Hannah's 4th birthday party!






The relationship between the girls and Hannah's family is very special to me.






I used to follow Hannah's blog while her mommy and daddy were anxiously

awaiting her arrival. 






Even though we hadn't met them, they were a true inspiration to our family as we

began our own adoption journey to Gabriella.






A very special friend, Amy, introduced us.  An instant friendship began between

Sarah and I...soon after we introduced our girls and hubby's.






While at Hanna's birthday party we were blessed to meet Lora, Aly and her family

who also brought home their baby girl from Taiwan!  Hannah and Aly were in the

same orphnage in Taiwan...talk about a very special bond!







Sarah totally knows how to throw a little girls birthday party and thought of

everything!  Decorating cupcakes, playing games, you name it!  Hannah has one

 awesome mama!!!






All the kids had a wonderful time decorating...and then eating the yummy

cupcakes!

Then it was time to start the Grand Prize Game!!





A wonderful time was had by all!!!  We feel so blessed to have Kevin, Sarah and

Hannah living so close to us and are truly enjoying spending time with them and

watching the girls as they are developing a great friendship!!

Pajama Day at Pre-School




Thursday was pajama day at Gabriella's preschool and she had been looking

forward to this day as soon as she knew it was scheduled!







They made and ate pancakes with syrup, read stories by the fireplace among

several other things. 







Gabriella and best little friend at pre-school, Meridith.






The girls have two awesome teachers and this is the beloved Mrs. Kara! 

A great time was had by all and she couldn't wait to tell us all about her day

 when she came home:)
