Every year we celebrate Anne Marie's "Forever Family Day" - as most of you know (but just in case you didn't) that's the day that Anne Marie was placed in our arms. Also, every year Mike's parents like to celebrate their own special day - "Welcome Home Day" - this is the day that we came home and they were able to meet their very special grandaughter for the 1st time in person. (That was 2/16). This year they brought us a very special treat. (With the help of my very special friend that owns the bakery). As well as a few little gifts for Anne Marie.
Family...
With little ladybugs.......
And a very happy family.... (me, Mike & Anne Marie)As a note I must say... this was the cutest cake I've ever seen that my friend Heather has made! Mike's mom called her & wasn't sure what she wanted, but she said "I want something to represent the day they came home" So, she gave her a picture of us on that day. Heather came up with this cake -- learning how to write family in Chinese and putting cute little ladybugs around the cake (she knows about the luck symbol they represent in the adoption world) and then made little fondant icing figures of us -- in the exact colors we were in that day we came home. I will say we have NOT eaten us!! We saved us... tooooo cute!! (And the cake was yummy peanutbutter chocolate -- Mike's favorite!)
