We're planning to go from the Courthouse to a photo studio to get formal family portraits done while we're still dressed up (Me and dresses are a rare occurrance

so they want proof I actually wear them)
We're also going to end up having 2 adoption parties (one in our area and then another north so my family can celebrate too--I have multiple family members who are too frail to travel longer distances).
