One Year Old

Yes, Little Miss Christina turned One Year Old Yesterday!!! We had so much fun. We had cupcakes and she even got to play with one eventhough she has only had strained food she did OK with a couple bites. She had more fun with the ribbons than the presents until we took them away. Then she played and played until 10PM she was exhausted. I didn't know what was more fun....watching Christina or our three big kids enjoying Christina. The love they have for her is amazing. And the love she has for them will melt your heart. Joe and I just watched in amazement.

We received a birthday e-mail from Christina's Foster Family:) We didn't think we would be able to have contact with them but they sent us pictures of her growing up in their home. We were so excited. When I opened the e-mail I screamed because I was so excited. Joe was talking on the phone with his brother...I bet he thinked I flipped.

We are so happy that we were able to celebrate this wonderful day with her.

Here are some pictures of Christina growing up in Guatemala. The pictures are of her from a couple weeks old until we picked her up. The litte boy is two months younger than Christina. He was being adopted as well. He slept with Christina and her fostermother.Christina trying to figure out what all the excitement is all about. Then eating her cake:) Christina's favorite pastime....trying everything out by mouth first.

Christina loved her first baby doll from her Sister Maria. This was Maria's first baby doll and she wanted to share it with her little sister.
