Family Day 2010!

Hard to believe it's been 3 years since our amazing little boy was placed in our arms. After the first 24 hours of motherhood, I could have never imagined the years would fly by as they have (that first day was a LONG one!). The picture below was minutes after he had come off the plane. Don't we all look terrified?? (We WERE!)

Here we are today with our silly, funny, smart, caring little guy. It's no surprise that this is one of my favorite pictures of the year. It captures our daily life oh-so-well! This boy's always good for a laugh!
This is the first year that Kai is really understanding his story. All day we've been reminiscing with him about his travel day; what it was like for him and us. Although that was (by far) the best day of our lives, we concluded that we've all had way more fun today. After a couple weeks of non-stop action, we've taken a lazy day, winding down from the exciting weekend and really enjoying some family time. We started the day with breakfast (with Gr. & Gr. C) at Sl@ppy Cakes, then made the two hour drive home. We had a special afternoon movie time, complete with a popcorn snack in the family room, then some Christmas clean up and playing with new toys. We've been enjoying some family game time after dinner and will end the evening with a viewing of Kai's homecoming video. Perfect end to a very fun holiday weekend!
