Gotcha Day

Well, we celebrated our 6 year Gotcha Day last Tuesday. Spicy Girl was getting over the flu, so we didn't keep her out long. Lunch was her choice....and her choice was....Whataburger.

After lunch, we took her to Toys R Us. Now every year we let S.G. pick out a toy, but this year her toy was a new puppy. So imagine our excitement when S.G. won a $25 gift card to Toys R Us from participating in her school fundraiser. So this year we were able to go to Toys R Us after all. Spicy Girl still loves Littlest Pet Shop, so she got a journal and two stuffed animals that you can register online and play games with.

Her biggest gift however was our sweet new little boy....Cooper. We all just adore our new puppy. He is so sweet, yet has his hilarious feisty moments. Spicy Girl held him the other day, and with a big 'ole hug, she declared her love for him. It's amazing how a pet can bring such joy into a home. Even more amazing is how much joy a child brings.
I love celebrating Gotcha Day; our family day. We told Spicy Girl that even when she was a grown up, and had children of her own, we will still celebrate Gotcha Day with her.
