"Gotcha Day" and Halloween

Ok, Now I am addicted. Since we get an extra hour of sleep tonight, I am just going to keep typing away about the family. Last week was Ivy's 1st "Gotcha Day". It stands for the "day we officially gotcha". (It was her 1st adoption birthday). We had donuts and presents. Aunt Hollie bought her some washable markers (that aren't so washable) . She is obsessed with her markers and pens and thinks she is hot stuff walking around with them. I can't believe it has been a year since we went to court with her. God is so good! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect daughter.

For Halloween Ivy had Kate Penberthy's old Halloween costume. She was Minnie Mouse. She looked so cute but she thought everytime candy went in her bag she could eat it right away. We went to the MacArthur's and the Hamilton's. She ate alot of carmel corn that night! Don Hamilton put new hard wood floors in their house and Ivy thought it was funny to throw water on the floor..........Don didn't think it was funny (although he was so polite)....mommy and daddy didn't think it was funny either and we took care of it....a couple of times. :) It was a fun night of being with friends.
