We also finalized HJ's adoption at the end of May. He 'officially' became part of our family and also became a U.S. Citizen. The boys were little charmers at the courthouse, and DW even winked at the judge! We celebrated in American style eating pizza, playing at Chuck-E-Cheese's, and eating yummy red, white, and blue cake.
HJ turned 2 in July. This birthday was extra special since it was the first one we were able to celebrate with him. We had a circus themed party to celebrate complete with peanuts, popcorn, cotton candy, hot dogs, cake, ice cream, etc. HJ's favorite part was the elephant cake! The kids also enjoyed playing in the wading pool and sprinkler.
