Over the weekend we celebrated my Daughters 17th birthday. It is Unbelievable to me that we are here....I remember the day we first saw her . That tiny little baby, Red hair and blue eyes, so small and that smell of a new baby! We both where so blessed to be at that place in our lives.
She came to us after 17 years of marriage. A gift we thought we would never see ! Our whole family was excited. My daughter is Adopted, in case you did not know. So she really was a gift given to us and not of our doing.

Seventeen years, seems like a short time, yet there are so many memories. All the trips and fun time we had. Now she is going to be a young lady, soon to be college bound. Where did those years go, they seem to have flown by. At some point we looked up and there she is....A grown child!

I thought I would share a couple photos of her seventeenth birthday party.

She had four friends over, they played games like Twister and listened to music. Just hung out , as she would put it.

The Hat:

We found a hat that was prefect for the occasion. You will see more of it! We have deemed it as the "Birthday Hat". Everyone will have to wear it on their birthday.

TheCake:

She decided on an ice cream cake. I went to Maggie Moos and ordered a special cake. Her theme was a Bonfire. However the weather did not cooperate. So I had the Cake decorated as a bonfire.

It was so good...the best Ice cream cake I have ever had!

So there it is, Now she is one year older and heading into lady-hood.
