5 dd's that we claim as our girls.. only one lives with us, dd is turning 12 today

she has 1 older half sister on her moms side, that dd was taken by mil back when dw and first hubby split, mil didnt let dw have any say either,, that one is now 17 and married to A soldier who is in iraq, we have 2 older half sisters on dd's biologicl fathers side, who treat dw as mom since thier mother abandoned them and so has their father, they both claim us too,, younger oinbe not as much as older one, sheeven goes as far as introducing me as her stepdad or poppa

then there is nikki, shes 20 something and has 2 that we claim as grands when we get to see them, she lives out in texas with her dh and its hard for us to get together much

we got custody of her when she was 16 preggers and facing girls home because her father refused to care for her. we took her in, ( shes dw's first cousin) she turned life around is is doing great now. but secret is light of our lives. we spoil her roitten and she knows it, shes getting her room remodeled as b day pressent, and getting a surprise family party with specialty cake she has no clue about yet for supper tonioght

snewaky huh

we are pretendingto be not making a big deal out of her day this year
