9th "Gotcha Day" Anniversary
Pictures taken July 11 ~
We celebrated our 9th anniversary of "Gotcha Day" a little different this year: stayed home, ordered Chinese food, had a quick dip in the pool, and even set up an outdoor movie theater!
We love our baby girl so much. <3
Elli had sweet and sour chicken.
Kaitlyn did an amazing kitchen chalkboard sign.
Brady and Elli took a quick dip in the pool since we couldn't go to the water park like we usually do for Gotcha Day.
We set up our new outdoor projector movie screen on the playground.
Elli had a concession stand with popcorn, marshmallow twists, and Sonic slushes!

We watched Maleficent, which is the Disney movie based on the evil queen in Sleeping Beauty.
Kaitlyn made our cute movie tickets.
This was so fun and will be a memorable Gotcha Day!
