Yesterday, Lily's last step towards citizenship was completed. Lily's adoption was finalized. She is now officially a US citizen. We met our lawyer at the Snohomish County courthouse and appeared before a judge. After a series of questions, her citizenship was granted. A group of family and friends were there to help us celebrate...including lunch at "The Flying Pig" in Everett afterwards.
The judge was kind enough to allow pictures in his courtroom.
Lily's so excited about being a full-fledged American now. Here she is patriotically waving her flag. Now if we can only get her to sit like a lady.
Waiting for her food at "The Flying Pig." That's her buddy Thomas in the background.

HOORAY!! My Lily is officially a U.S. Citizen. How patriotic Lily looks in all her red, white, & blue. I love the picture with Lily waving the American Flag & her big smile tells it all. Good moments captured for Lily to see some day.

Great pictures. Lily is getting cuter and more grown up all the time. I will miss seeing her grow up, but you will have to send me pictures, and I will see you when I come up in the summers.
Love in Christ, Rose
