A lot of families with adoptees celebrate their child's Gotcha Day, Airplane Day, Family Day, etc., but with biological children as well, we decided not to. We always have on their first and we still acknowledge it, but we do not have any big celebration. We don't do gifts either. But, on our family anniversary we do celebrate. Not with gifts either, but just by being a family, being together and doing something special. We've gone out for dinner in the past, but this year I ordered some airplane cookie cutters and decided we'd make Christmas sugar cookies and then make some of these too.
Chase, Kaelin, Chelsi and I worked on these most of the day. You may not be able to tell though. Some are pretty oddly painted with icing, but the kids worked hard at them. I also colored the dough, so that the trees would be green, the gingerbread men would be brown and the airplanes would be about the same color as the Korean Air planes. I thought the color came out well, but it's hard to paint them with icing. Nonetheless, the kids had a great time and they were YUMMY! We also painted a gingerbread man to look like each of us. Kaelin painted me, Brian and Cole. Chase painted himself and the girls asked me to put them in a hanbok, so I painted them and Jaemin.
After loads of laundry, cleaning the house from top to bottom, making beds and making cookies ALL DAY LONG, this girl is beat!
