Celebrating another Tiziversary!

It was nine years ago that we first met our sweet little Tizita.

Each year at this time, I like to celebrate that day that we first met her coming off the plane from Ethiopia.

She walked off of that plane and into our family.

This year Tiz and Courtney came out on Friday night.  Alissa, Nathan, my mom, Courtney, Tiz, Mal, John and I wall went to Taqueria Maria's for margaritas and great food.

After dinner we went to Bismarks for some beer, basketball and darts.

Kev joined us there so that was nice.

On Saturday, Courtney, Alissa, Tiz and I went to a store called Five Below.  It was a surprise for Tiz since it is a store that she really likes.

We found one in Waukesha.

After a very successful shopping trip we went to Fuddruckers for a great burger, fries, and shakes.

We got home and Soli and Paul arrived shortly after that.

Soli had a soccer game in Green Bay in the morning so they came out after that.

We had a fun supper for Tiz on Saturday night.

Yummy fun foods all to the theme of Cheer.

She really enjoyed it and everyone had fun with the silly foods.

After dinner we all went outside and sat around the fire.

We played a game where we asked each other questions.

It was a great night of sharing some fun, old stories and building new memories.

Today it was church and then everyone headed home.

Now it is time for me to get back into school mode.

Here are a few photos:

Such a great way to celebrate another Tiziversary, another year with our sweet Tizita!
