Not only were we blessed with the finalization of Kolden's adoption, we were also given some special gifts to celebrate the occasion. First, my mom took us out to eat at Pappas Burgers, YUM! And Uncle Chris was able to join us!!
My mom had small gifts for us. She gave our family a Willow Tree Angle box appropriately called, "Family". She said she chose this one because it had a Daddy, Mommy, and two little boys, just like our family!
She also gave me an ornament, "From one Mommy to another Mommy" Thanks Mom! I love the gifts. *Don't worry, she brought marsh mellow bunnies and ducks and sour chewy bunnies for the boys.
My Dad also sent the best gift he could come up with. On the day of Kolden's finalization, a US flag was flown above the headquarters for the Army Core of Engineers in Kabul, Afghanistan in Kolden's honor. Such a unique gift to honor this day that my son will be able to appreciate the rest of his life.
The bad news was that a friend had to fly the flag for Dad, so he's not in the pictures. The good news is that he couldn't be there because he was probably too busy cooking out with Greg at another base in Afghanistan. Thanks for the flag Poppy!
