It was birthday time at our house again this week and it was finally Eden's turn! She has been anticipating it and talking about her birthday for weeks. All of our kids enjoy celebrating birthdays and I really see them making an effort to make it extra special for each other. 
Could she possibly look any happier? She was thoroughly enjoying all the hoopla but can you blame her? It isn't everyday that the world revolves around you. 
She only asked for two things: a treasure box and some lollipops. I still am not positive what she had in mind for a treasure box so we talked about other options. She was fine as long as lollipops were still part of the deal. I just said to Mark today that I am still amazed by the whole concept and beauty of adoption! That a child who was born literally on the other side of the world could become our own child! That we were chosen to be her family! That she is a sister to Heidi, Tristan, Shane and Judah! That she is a cousin, a niece, a granddaughter to many!
Eden....we are forever changed by your laughter, your smile, your ornery little self, your zest for life, your running into everything in your rush to get to wherever you are going, your intensely strong will, your beauty and your capacity to love!!! We love you to the moon and back!! And are thrilled for you that you finally are 4 years old!
