HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY and ONE YEAR HOME!!!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, CASSIANA!

Also, one year ago, Cassi's feet touched US soil for the first time. What a day of remembrances! :) Cassi has now spent 1/2 of her life with us, which is another significant marker in an adopted child's life. :)

We celebrated Cassi's birthday early this year, on her first US Thanksgiving. Mom and I were with her in Russia last year for Thanksgiving, eating some yummy lasagna! lol Mom made her an Abbey Caddabby birthday cake this year and an Elmo congo square cookie cake. They were precious and delicious!

My camera has a mind of its own lately. All of these pictures are dates March, 2007 and the lens is blurry no matter what I clean it with (this could be due to the little hands in the house that are using it, too).

So, this is what all the Thanksgiving fuss is about.

Turkey leg anyone?

Let's get this party started!

Abbey!

Elmo!

Kai giving Cassi a kiss--look at the love! lol

I like chocolate cake way better than turkey. Like mother like daughter.

Feeding Abbey, now released from her cake.

Opening presents

Doggie!

A year ago today, Cassi was terrified of dogs!

Happy 2nd Birthday, One Year Home and First Thanksgiving in America!

We love you!
