Annual Down syndrome Christmas Party

Today was a day to celebrate! We celebrated those who have Down syndrome. We were invited to attend the annual DSACO Christmas Party. We were thrilled to not only be invited (we have attended for years with the Malone's) but to be an active particpant. Marcus and Macey are HERE and boy did we celebrate. Last year we only had a picture to hold on to of Marcus and didn't even know about Macey yet. Boy does time fly when your having fun! This truly is the time of my life! Back to the party, we ate a wonderful dinner, won door prizes, took pictures with Santa and received a stcoking full of goodies too. I tell you, we are spoiled. This group did a great job putting on such a wonderful event for everyone. We felt priveleged to have 2 children of our own with Ds. We were able to share our adoption story several times today. Marcus and Macey looked adorable in their matching outfits. We were asked a couple of times if they were twins. I guess I asked for that one, again. Another exciting part of the afternoon for me was people watching. I love to watch others. It was great to see the older children and adults with Ds. I felt like I was looking into our future. Skies the limit for M & M! We have truly provided them with not only a loving home, life itself but every oppurtunity known to give them. It shows! We could not be more proud of the progress they continue to make and the time we were able to share with others just like them. We are blessed!
