Today was a very important day in the Lussier family!
The day began at 7 am with the decorating of our Forever Family - Hello Kitty Cake. Skylar was so excited to be able to decorate it herself & she did a great job. Next it was off to a Nursery to pick our "Adoption" tree. As a family we are planting a tree to commemorate today! Getting the tree into the SUV was very interesting but thankfully my sister Colleen came along & helped each step of the way. She also painted a beautiful "Forever Family" stone to put in front of our tree. LOVE IT!
Next we dashed home & prepared for the party. At 2pm Louise & Mel - Skylar's Foster Mom & Dad from the past year & a half arrived with her Foster Sister Sydnee. Next Grandma & Grandpa Siemens who have so lovingly cared for Skylar over the past 8 years keeping her safe & loving her greatly. Grandma Siemens would wave each morning as her school bus passed their farm to ensure she knew family loved her! Skylar's social worker Andre came bringing a beautiful life book for Skylar full of her story & pictures all beautifully scrapbooked. And our CFS social worker Nelda came with all the official papers.
Skylar was able to visit with all the amazing people who had cared for our little girl over the past few years. People who ensured Skylar was able to be a little girl & enjoy life even if parts of her life were tough. People who loved her and celebrated her. To all these people I give a huge thank you. You have helped to raise a beautiful, well mannered & well balanced little girl. To this we will be ever grateful!
Today we became parents of 2 beautiful little girls. Welcome to the Lussier family Skylar! We love you so much!
Aw, you're getting ME all teary!
