We've officially had our girl for TWO whole years. We had a fun day of therapy (couldn't escape that), eating lunch at Graycen's second choice, McAlister's (Applebee's was her first, but they had a wait), and pizza and cake for supper. She finally got to open her present when Daddy got home. We had told her she had to wait for him. Well, we weren't paying attention and turned around to Graycen ripping open the paper and box. I said, "Graycen HongYuan!" She said sweetly, "Daddy's home!" Okay, she did wait until he was home, we just didn't get to see her open it. One of our travel mates gave me the heads up on the Hallmark China Joy to the World ornament as a great gift for this day, so we gave her one also. She loves it and hung it on the tree herself, well Gavin helped a little. Uncle came over to help celebrate. She kept telling everyone, "Happy Graycen Day!" We even changed the happy birthday song to sing Happy Graycen Day. She had the happiest smile while we sang.
See how she's changed in two years...

Happy Graycen Day!
Mommy makes me laugh!
Gavin helped me with my ornaments. I love him so much!
See my new ornaments on the tree?
Oh how we love this girl! We can't imagine how boring our lives would be without her. We are so thankful to God for allowing us to be her forever family. She is such a happy, funny, smart girl. We know that God's plan for her is going to be something big. Happy Graycen Day, Sweetie. You are our sunshine.
