One of the cool parts about being an adoptive family is celebrating family day or Gotcha Day. It just so happens in our family, that all of these adoption milestones take place in the same in our family and also just some exciting memories in general as a family so we like to get out and enjoy some family time during this week each year.
Lots of shades in this car, on our way to the beach! All the kids love days spent playing on the beach!
A stop at the cheese factory on the way, we heard it gets quite crazy now (and it was by the time we left) so we hit it early!
Basically ice cream for breakfast, but who's to judge - it's family day!
We tried a new beach this year and loved it! The sand was awesome and there was hardly anybody there the whole day. We packed a big bag full of food and stayed for over 6 hours playing together until the food was almost gone and the sun was out long enough to fry us!
It was truly the perfect type of day with our family, we loved all the time together just playing and being together. I sure do love all these little people and am so blessed to have each and every one of them in my life.
A couple days later we celebrated Malachi's joining of our family with some Ethiopian food, whenever we have Ethiopian we wonder why we only make it once a year. So maybe it needs to happen more often because it is yummy! I love the pride Malachi has for his country and we certainly adore him and his birth country too!
