It's a Beautiful Day!

The adoption is final and Greyson is now officially Greyson Ross Bushell!!!!! Everything went so smoothly. We got there pretty early because Adam wanted to make sure we weren't late (as in WAY early!). Both kids were great during court, I think Lucy was a little nervous in front of the judge. But it was quick and painless and the judge was super nice. When we took photos with him after, Grey just loved him and as you can see in the pic with the judge wanted to hold his hand! It was just an awesome experience.

The finalization took place at 9am so we decided to celebrate with breakfast. I should apologize to anyone I woke up calling to say it was done and over (we are ahead 2 hours of Utah), I just couldn't wait to share the good news. Grey loved the oranges and Lucy and I enjoyed our hot cocoas topped with tons of whipped cream yum!
We finished the morning with Pop Rocks which we all enjoyed (if you look really close you can see that she has Pop Rocks all over her mouth). It has been just a joyous day and I feel more than blessed to have Grey in our family. I was commenting on what an amazing experience it was to Adam and he said, "I have always felt like he was ours today didn't make a difference." Which really is true. Its just nice for everyone else to know hes our too.
