V’s 5th birthday party

Leave a reply

V wanted The Little Mermaid for her party theme. 🙂  Last year she would hardly talk to me about what kind of party she wanted. I was super happy to be able to throw a party for her. Her new family came and that was awesome!IMG_9455 IMG_9458 IMG_9460 IMG_9462 IMG_9465 IMG_9508

This kid was swimming in gifts. See what I did there? 😉IMG_9523

She was pretty excited to be the first one to hit he pinata.IMG_9547 IMG_9553

After the pinata we packed up kids for their first weekend at their new house.IMG_9558

Cousins stayed to play which was so nice.IMG_9564 IMG_9567 IMG_9572

To celebrate surviving a whole yer as a foster family AND V birthday we biked the kiddos over to sonic for dessert.

It’s been the longest and fasted year ever. It’s crazy to think that Monkey girl was only 4 weeks old, R was a scared angry 14 month old, and V was a lost little 4 year old. They have all grown SO SO much.

We are sure going to miss them when they move to their new family.

Meeting new parents

The kiddos new parents came to meet them and play for a little bit this morning. Their CW came to supervise the first visit.
The baby took some time to warm up to them, but the other two were stuck like glue and in love right away. 🙂

I got so many great pictures. They had SO much fun together.IMG_9261

And because any reason to do chalk graffiti on my block wall… 🙂 Also I cannot wait until it cools off so we can put grass in. We are this close! And the goat heads are this close to being burned to death by Tiwanda. WOOT!IMG_9271

Jon and Kaylee had a chat about the visit after parents went home. She says her heart feels happy now that she has met them. And we know just what she means.

Regan says that new Daddy will be great because he is fun. He is starting to come around to the fact that Monkey will be leaving.

Kaylee said, “Mom he is funny like you!”

New Dad does dance parties! New Mom says she needs to start saving cereal boxes for pinata making!

V says her new parents are wonderful and awesome. And they are. 🙂

Jon and I are SO happy for this new little family. The joy and peace… this is what we wanted for our sweet kiddos. To stay together in a great forever family.

They are coming back Monday night and bringing their little girl so that all the siblings can meet. And possibly Thursday night, then Saturday is the first overnight.

So many FEELINGS.
