Build a Bear Excursion

While we were in Florida, we had the amazing opportunity to hand out with Xander's birth family.  On one of the outings, we went to build a bear.  Xander's siblings got to build an animal and then they made one for Xander.  It was so cute for him to meet his brother and sister and everyone had a blast at Build a Bear.

This is Austin, I think they look alike.

Love these precious times

Xander and his birth mother, Carolyn

We are so very grateful for these two!  They have given us the most precious gift.  We couldnt ask for more and will forever love and cherish these two for what they have done for us!

Xander and his Maternal birth family!  (we are missing Stetson and wish she could have been with us!)  Such a good looking group!

We are so grateful for his birth family.  The sacrifices they made for us have given us the sweetest, most precious gift, and we will never be able to say thank you enough!  We are also so very grateful for their support and continued interaction with us.  Xander will always know where he came and the miracle of his birth and his life with us.  He will be beyond loved and we are so grateful for that!  What a lucky little boy!
