3 Year Anniversary

We recently celebrated the three year anniversary of the day Natalie Mae joined our family. It is so sweet to reminisce about the amazing moment she became our daughter. We are SO grateful for the selfless decision made by Natalie's birth mother. Natalie is truly a gift from God and we pray that we are raising her in a way that honors the decision made by her birth mother. We invited some friends over to celebrate the anniversary with some Colombian food. I cooked empanadas with salsa picante and black bean soup with fried plantains and avocado-cumin cream. I also made limonada ( a refreshing drink recipe from the Raising Colombian Kids blog). Yummy! The flavors reminded me of sweet Juanita's cooking.
