You just wanted to sit in the sand and play!

You fell to sleep at Pig'n pancake but then you woke up right when the food came :)

Homecoming!!!!!!

Hi Vahnya, I'm going to tell you about your homecoming...ok?

Well at 6:00pm on Wenesday night (March 30th 2011) we (Manda, Kenzy, Jordan, MaeMae, and I) went to get you a balloon from QFC! It was really hard because all of the balloons said "Happy Birthday" or "Get well soon" so we decided to get you this BIG snail balloon and we also got you some cupcakes!!!

We had to wait for Uncle Steve to come over so he could take us to the airport!!!
It took us around 15-20 minutes to finally get to the airport I was texting Ashley the WHOLE time I was so nervous.....I wasn't nervous to meet you I was just so excited that everything was done and you were on your way home after 1 year and 20 days of waiting!!!!!!!!

So when we were driving up the parking garage at the airport I was sooo excited I couldn't belive it...I was shaking and stuff!
We all got out of the cars (it was us and Uncle Steve, Aunt Jacky, and our cousins) and the kids were acting crazy! One of your cousins wouldn't stop talking!

So anyway when we were at the airport we waited and waited and waited.........

It felt like FOREVER....... and then at 8:45pm your plane landed and you guys were coming!
We got by the "rope" and held up the sign waiting for you to come! We all kept saying "their they are"
and everyone was so excited! Mommy was pushing you in your stroller and daddy was carying one of the carry on bags! I held back my tears and I was shaking even more as I saw mommy getting closer and closer when you finally got to us I hugged mommy really tight!

 I couldn't belive it was all done! Manda got you out of the stroller and held you! When I finally rubbed your little leg I felt calm! I just couldn't believe you were finaly here!!!

Daddy, Josh, and Uncle Steve went to get your bags and we played with the legos and play set they had at the airport!
You loved the legos!

You were everything I dreamed you would be and more!!!!!!!

When we got home you just ran around exploring!

We put you in your soft jammies and then we just played the rest of the night. You weren't used to the time change so you stayed up really late! I love it when you giggle and dance! That night Taylah got to meet you through skype she just loved you!!!!!

It was a long day and one of the best days of my life!!!!!!!!!
I'm sooooo happy you are home :)
And I LOVE you so much!!!

Forever and Always
Love sissy
