I had a Valentine theme going on, AND lots of food to go around for everyone!!! 
Above, Levi seemed to be enjoying the cupcakes!!!
As you can see..the chatting by women is endless!! It could go on all day!!
Oh, but the children running around were WAY TOO CUTE!! I mean, we should have these kids on the cover of an adoption magazine...there would be no more orphans in the world!! I love little Ester above...She's sporting her Momma's Poppy Dip Dress!! Yes, her momma is the QUEEN of the Poppy Dip!!! You'll have to check out her site...all proceeds go toward their 3rd adoption from Ethiopia!!!
These two China Loves never get tired of playin at my home!! Love these girls!!
Ok, so these two sisters look like they are biological..but both adopted separately and from different countries...one from the U.S. and one from Ethiopia.... simply gorgeous girls!!
Macy made her way to the party too...She represents an adoption domestically!! What a beauty!!!
Above, we have Amy who is waiting on her Ethiopian baby boy...Her bio daughter came along to play for the day too...
Of, course, lots of coffee was had today too!!! (my girls made my signs for me...they love helping out :)

Ok, so don't we kind of look alike??? too funny!!!
Oh, and all 3 of my girls enjoyed the shower...they all stayed for it and had fun!! LL napped most of the time, but Julia never let her out of her sight once she woke!! Sweet sisters!!!

Happy Sunday to you all, kj
what a joyful celebration. i am laughing b/c i read your last post "i don't do anything but take care of my family and home" and thought to myself "yes, you do all that AND host party after party to serve others and celebrate with them!" you are amazing!
ReplyDeletewow...looks like it was an awesome shower! It was fun to see in pictures so many of the girls from blogs I read all at your shower...do you all live close or did they travel in for the shower? Glad it went well! All the children there were so cute!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your last post and this one, I am exhausted! I don't know how you do it all! :) It looks like the shower was such a great day! It was neat to see a photo of my blog friend Amy. We have been feeling the calling to adopt and Amy has been such an encouragement and a great friend to me as we pray that the Lord will lead us where He wants us to be. I was adopted and it has been such a blessing in my life. I love reading your blog and all of these adoption stories. It is so evident that the Lord is planning all of this out for each family and it's such a beautiful thing to witness!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing!!! How exciting 4 children that have a family :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that they are adopting a sibling group. The shower looked wonderful. :-D
ReplyDeleteThe adoption community you guys have fostered is truly amazing. Adoption isn't easy--especially the journey the Mihnovich's have walked. Thank you for taking care of one of my most favorite families in the world. You guys are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll see you at the airport to welcome them home in just a few week! :)
Your gift of hospitality is never ending! Wish I could have been there to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteThe ripple effect of adoption in these photos gives me chills!
Love & Blessings from Hong Kong,
Kim
Beyond grateful Kristi!! I can't believe it's only been 2 years!----hard to remember what life was like before getting hit with the adoption bomb!! love you sister!!!
