Hope's Gotcha Day Anniversary

Today was Hope's Gotcha Day Anniversary. We had a surprise lined up for Hope: she was going to have an opportunity to Skype with Zach. Zach is Hope's friend who was from the same orphanage as Hope, and who was adopted on the same day as Hope.

Here is a picture of Zach and Hope as 4-year-olds:

Hope had a blast reconnecting with her "old" friend.

In addition, our neighbor was having a children's party, and Hope chose to go to the party instead of out to a Chinese restaurant.... My friend, Elisabeth, knew it was Hope's Gotcha Day, and she made Hope feel special as a princess:

 and Andrew as a snake:

 and Daniel as a dinosaur:

We had a great time celebrating Hope today! If you would like to reminisce with us, you may watch Hope's "Gotcha Day Video" HERE.
