Yesterday was our official "Gotcha" Day. The day we went to the orphanage that fateful day 2 years ago and took her home with us forever.
Driving away from the baby home with my sweet girl in my arms. There was no better feeling in the world! As my friend, Anna, said at that moment "No words, Jenny. No words." And she was right. No words could capture how we felt that day.
Back at Anna's beautiful hotel (Ekman Garden Resort) as a family.
Loving on our baby girl.

So how we did spend our special family day? Together. And although it was "Gotcha" day and not a Thai holiday, we chose to celebrate who she is and the beautiful country she came from. First we looked at photos of our 1st days together. We watched a cute Thai movie (free English version now at ON DEMAND) called The Blue Elephant. (Ruby LOVES this movie). We went out for yummy Thai food for dinner. And we gave her a little Thai doll I had waiting for her upstairs for 3 years. Here are some shots from the day...

Love her hanging on her Daddy's neck. So sweet! Can't believe I failed to get a shot of all 3 of us together. But I guess by the time we started eating that yummy Thai food, it never entered our minds!
A very special day/night for our little family!

Speechless. She has grown and changed so much in such a short amount of time. Happy forever family day. I think Thai was the perfect way to go. We always do Chinese.
You all look so happy...love these pictures.
