We have just returned from the courthouse and then a celebrationbreakfast at Caden's restaurant of choice. He picked out Denny's.
Why the fun? Because it is Caden's Adoption Day!!
Of course I had everyone lay out their clothes last night and then 30 minutes before we had to leave this morning Caden decided he wanted to wear Chinese clothes. A quick change of clothes for many and there we have it!
The judge allowed Caden to sit in his honorable chair and Caden has
now decided that he will become a judge. The buzz of power radiating
from the chair was something Caden really enjoyed. By the time we got
home Caden had moved from judge, clear to President of the United States!
We've put his courtroom pictures on the blog today. WAHOO!
Now, Caden's big brothers felt that they better prepare Caden for any
of the judge's questions. They convinced him that he would have to
spell his last name without any mistakes. So, Caden was disappointed
when the judge didn't ask him and asked for the chance to spell it for
him anyway. On the official docket for the court it clearly shows
that Caden can spell ELLISON. LOL!
On the way out of the court room, Ammon the friend maker, hugged every
defendant and their lawyer who were waiting in the hallway to enter
the court. Ah, the look of shock on the faces of these hardened souls
was quite a chuckle.
It was a treat to have all our adopted children in the courtroom
today. They don't remember well their own adoption days and this was
eye opening for them too.
Happy, Happy Adoption Day Caden Bakos Xinhui Ellison! When I get time
I'll post more pictures on the blog.
