First Visit in almost 3 years

Okay so I was nervous as I was going up the mountain to see my girls and to see if my vehicle would make it... Everything went fine. I waited there for about 2 hrs (since I left EARLY early just to make sure I wasn't pushing the car beyond it's limits). An hour and half in the car and the rest inside McDonald's. Before they show up I tried to eat something but was having a difficult time swallowing due to my anxiety. Never the less I managed to eat and wait and wait and wait. Not know what car they would be arriving in. Finally I see it, my ex's beat up '05 truck.... and by beat up I mean his accident prone truck.  I'm forcing back the tears and wait to see them come thru the doors..... first I see Angelina scanning the restaurant for me, then I see Mira and Kristina doing the same, and finally Veronica actually walks in looking around. I call Veronica's name and she turns to see me but not really sure it's me. Once she realizes it is me she runs to me for a hug which led to the others but Kaydee (Kristina) to hug me. Kaydee just looks at me like "Where have you been? I've missed you!" She then runs and wants me to pick her up. So of course I pick her up.  From then on she wouldn't move much from my side.... except of course to play in the play area. My ex, Aaron, went and ordered the girls lunch while I of course got their presents from the car. In all the excitement the girls did eat most of their food. They were extremely happy to see all the gifts I brought. Allie (angelina) wouldn't give up the recorded book I got all of them for Christmas. During the whole visit Kaydee kept climbing all over my back like a monkey. At one point Kaydee's foot slipped and she hit her head against the table, so I immediately reached for her. She came right to me and refused to go to Aaron. I rocked her back and forth for about 3 minutes and she was fine. She kissed my cheek and became my happy little monkey all over again. I had gotten more hugs and kisses from my baby than any of the other girls. Oh and she is so camera shy, especially if you have the  video going. One of the girls favorite things was sitting in my lap and looking thru the only pictures I had of them and telling them what was going on in them. I guess I'll be making a scrapbook album for each girl. It was certainly a fun day with them and I can't wait till next month when I get to see them again, after the wedding.

Pics of wedding preparations...

Wedding announcement before getting the cancellation letter. Which this turned into reception announcement instead. I made this one and it was the 15th one I designed.

  This is the Sealing announcement I made a day after receiving the cancellation letter.

This what we chose for our wedding cake, but it will be two tiered instead of three.

 It will be lemon cake with raspberry filling.
