3 years home. . . forever family day!

we celebrated this precious, brilliant, funny, joyful, sweet little girl being home for three years yesterday! she requested baskin-n-robbins and pupcakes from starbucks (she has been eyeing them for quite some time!)

here she is with her special Guatemalan gift . . . perfect for her age learning her letters and how to write her name. yes that is chocolate ice cream on her mouth!
posing with all her requested treats! sprinkle ice-cream cones, chocolate ice cream and bubble gum ice cream for her brothers and of course the cupcakes (btw go to starbucks for coffee not cupcakes they were less than amazing:)
we celebrated with -

- treats of course!

- swimming at the Y with Dad and emery

- she requested the boys make her an obstacle course - her favorite game with her brothers.

- and my favorite part we watched her coming home video that whitney made for us! what would we do w/o the murphys in our life?!!! they bless our family in so many ways! we will watch that video every year on forever family day it is amazing!!
