Happy Adoption Day!!

Saturday was the one year anniversary of Adoption Day, so we invited the grandparents and Uncle Josh over for a little celebration. Dinner was served - salad, bread, sherry chicken, rice, and green beans. Cal enjoyed a little bit of fruit from the salad, some break and some of the rice with the sherry chicken sauce. Dessert followed - homemade peanut butter cake with peanut butter icing and Cal couldn't get enough of that! Everyone had a great time and Cal was the life of the party, of course. We are so very blessed and look forward to celebrating many more Adoption Days in the future.

First, we get a little fancy. We used Grandma Foye's china. We used the portable high chair so Cal could really have a place at the table. For this year, we stuck with a plastic place setting for the little guy.

On the left are some boxes that arrived for Cal from Uncle Josh. More on that later. On the right is Cal's gift from us. We got him some new food for his kitchen and a book about adoption. The main characters are foxes - perfect, right?

Cal has a little snack to tide himself over until the guests arrive.

He's really looking forward to seeing everyone.

Waiting at the door. . .

Wow, mom and dad, this looks pretty cool.

This part was pretty funny. He kept picking up pieces of food, putting them in his mouth, getting a look on his face that seemed like, "Yep, this one's fake, too" then putting it back in the pile.

Enjoying dinner

The cake!

Seriously, mom, I do NOT understand why we don't have cake after every meal.

Entertaining his guests

This is super, super yummy!
