"FAMILY DAY"

Hello everyone,
Today is Sara's one year anniversary of the day we took her out of the orphanage for good! Alot of people call this the "Gotcha Day". I've decided to call it our "Family Day". This is the day we all became a new family with Sara. I just wanted it to be fair for all my children. I don't think it's fair to Sara's brothers & sister to have 2 celebrations (today & birthday) for Sara and the rest only their birthday celebration. I definitely don't want to be favouring one more than the other. I want each and everyone of them to feel special. I also want them to know that each one of them is a very important part of our family unit. Today we will spend the afternoon (just us 5) together just doing "stuff" in town and at home. I have also baked the Ukrainian sweet bread called,"Paska" and I also made a big pot of yummy "Borsht soup". My mother will also be preparing a nice italian "Gniocchi" dish. We will be enjoying a wonderful italian and ukrainian dinner tonight. We will also be viewing the pictures and video's we took in Ukraine. I will post again tomorrow to let you know how things went. I hope everyone has an excellent day today. It is the most fantastic weather outdoors!
Ciao and Paca !
Take care everyone
Gina
