Big (Adoption Day) Bear (April 6th, 2007)



Kellee and I decided that we wanted Faith's adoption to be special to her. We didn't want to keep it under wraps and then spring it on her later in life, so we have decided to do like many other adoptive parents and celebrate that day. Many call this the "Gothcha Day" and celebrate it on the day they actually become the legal guardians. For us however, this is a little difficult, since we became Faith's parent on her 2nd birthday. So we decided to celebrate her adoption day as April 6th the first time we were able to meet our daughter!
Are These for the Truck???
Cold Bottom, my girls gottem....

So last Tuesday we went to Big Bear and celebrated (I know April 6th was on Friday, but I was working)! We walked around the downtown part and ate lunch. Then I took her on to the Alpine Slides and went on the only snow patch left in Big Bear. She liked the snow and going down on the inner tube, but I think she loved the Alpine slides most of all. When we went down I didn't hit the brakes at all; Faith laughed and giggled the whole way! When it was said and done, she ran to the lift again ready for more. After that we went and had some Ice cream with Mama. That night we read her a little book that Kellee had put together on her adoption story and told her how important she was to us and how much we love her. Overall not bad for our first Adoption Day Celebration.

Hold ON!!

Don't Look Now!

Where's mine, Papa???

Here we Go!!!
