Today was The Day!

So I thought this morning would never come. And of course the morning went by very slow. We got to the court house just before 10:00 a.m. The office took us in. Nate, Makenzie and I went and sat up in the front. Grandma Wallace and Grandma Foster took over the 2 boys. Unfortunalty Evan did not like this arrangement and he threw a fit. Grandma Wallace had to take him out a couple of times. We were missing 1 form. So the judge excused us to go out to the hall and make up to form ourselves. 
We got back in and had to be sworn in, which felt odd. Nate was the family spoke person. He got our wedding date right and had Evan 2 months younger then he really was but that is okay. The judge asked why we thought this would be good for Makenzie... wish we would have known that one was coming so my answer could have sounded better. Then he asked Makenzie if that is what she wanted and of course she said yes. It was really odd to hear him say that the parental rights have been terminated and Makenzie will now be known as Makenzie Kaylyn Foster. So after it was  all said and done Judge Dutson asked if we wanted pictures. Well of course we did. He said the court will be in recess for a few mins. He took Makenzie up on the bench to play with the gavel but someone stole it. Grandma Wallace took us out to celebrate afterwards, Makenzie choose Arctic Circle. It's been a fun day!
