Today

Today

 was a BIG day

in the Brown house.

Big as in BUSY,

but also as in memorable.

Today we celebrate Crista's 7th Gotcha Day!!

Its so hard to believe that it was just 7 years ago

Jake and I held little Crista in our arms

for the first time,

felt her in the flesh after

pouring over her pictures and praying for her

for so long.

 

We started out our celebration with 7 candles in a Krispy Kreme.

We love candles around here!

Makes even the mundane extra special!

Out Gotcha Day plans were foiled yesterday by thunderstorms

so we plan to celebrate next week when the weather is little nicer.

 

 

Today

was also Crista's ball practice.

I know I'm her mom and all,

but she did so great!

This is her first year playing

so she still has

lots of learning to do,

but she's off to a fantastic start!

 

 



Today

was also the Daddy/Daughter Banquet

at our church.

The theme was Camo & Curls

but since we don't have any camo,

and both girls refused curls,

we just marched to the beat of our own drum tonight!



The girls all had a blast

hanging out with their friends.

 

They also had a great time with their dates!

 

The food was great

and everything looked fantastic

but watching the girls dance with their Daddy

was priceless!

 

 

 

Da won a door prize

and Crista picked this one out

just for him!

It says,
"Grandfathers Are Special"

Da earned that one alright!

 

Our BIG day is now over

but it was a great one!

I am so very thankful for my sweet family!
