We are so thankful for the precious baby girl we brought home from Ethiopia 4 years ago! She is a beautiful girl from such a beautiful culture!
 | |
| Her Ethiopian dress that she was able to wear as a baby, she was able to wear as a gorgeous shirt the other night. |
 |
| She has grown up so fast! |
We were able to celebrate her culture by going for a wonderful Ethiopian dinner!
Extra special to have Grandpa and Grandma with us...Grandpa came along to help bring Ellyana home...always a special part of her story!
 |
| The restaurant by us is so beautiful and it is so great to enjoy the sights, smells, sounds and delicious food from Ethiopia. |
Mommy & Ellyana in Ethiopian scarves (Grandma also wearing one).
Amazing food!
 |
| Ellyana loved the injera and she had fun trying a lot of the other items. |
 |
| She was quite the "ham" that night, enjoying every minute (even the hot clothes they give you before and after the meal). |
Her actual "Coming Home Day" earlier this month we were at Magic Kingdom. It was a special day! It was great to be at "Its a Small World". I have to say I got a little choked up at the reality of how it feels. So thankful that is a Small World and it is wonderfully represented in our family!
Precious girl, we love you! You are a gift to our family from the Lord!
Hard to believe it has been 4 years already! We are SO thankful to have Ellyanna and company here as a part of our church family. Beautiful family!
