It was such a great day yesterday. My sister’s (Jess) husband, Eric, officially
adopted her two children; Holden and Adam.
You see, Eric has been their Dad for quite a few years already, but yesterday
it was legal in terms of the court system.
Nothing will really change with their day-to-day lives because Eric
stepped up to the plate years ago but now the family gets to share the same
last name and have the peace of mind that they will forever be a family.
On a side note: The judge asked Holden if he wanted to
change his last name. He said yes, and also
said that he wanted to change his first name to Jeff. (F*cking Jeff, really?)
Of course, after a big day like this, we had to celebrate at
the only place acceptable for a day like that- at Chuck-E-Cheese. On the way there, Holden wanted to bring in
his new Lego set but Jess told him that he couldn’t because the pieces would get
lost. Holden was quite upset and let her
know that he was upset. Meanwhile, Chase
was in the backseat, observed the conversation, leaned over to Holden and
whispered (not quietly), “Don’t you wish you got a new Mom today, too?”
So Holden and Adam were very happy to get a new Dad,
but kinda wished they got a new Mom, too.
Also, my kids really know how to ruin a moment for my sister's family. Ryder refused to smile and kept repeating, "I will not smile. I will not be happy." And he stuck to his words. Honest little man he is.
My kids also ruined their wedding photos.
