Finalization!

Yesterday morning at our local Family and Probater Courthouse, we finalized the adoption of our dd a little over a year after bringing her home, and the best part, was that it was also dh's birthday.

We invited family and friends to celebrate with us. We filled the courtroom and I think overwhelmed the other family who thought they were there for a quite simple process.

Here is a picture of dd in the judges chair!

Thank you all, we made it a fun day that I think all enjoyed. And for dd who loves when it's all about her, how could she not enjoy it
