Our oldest is now six years old! (Six and a half actually but the pictures are from her birthday) She is a sweet yet feisty little thing and we love her so much! We were able to have multiple days of celebration due to a trip to Nebraska the day after her birthday.
 |
| The day of her party was also a Sunday so she chose this dress for church. It was given to us by our friend, Carol, when she returned from Hawaii last Christmas. |
 |
| Presents from us: bluetooth speaker - for using with my old ipod; and an ESV children's Bible |
 |
| She wanted a chocolate cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. We went with box cake and can strawberry frosting and it was delicious! |
 |
| Little friends at her "Art Party" They each painted a picture of our tractor (or whatever they wanted) to take home. |
 |
| Our friend, "Miss Kris" as we call her, helped the kids know what to paint and good techniques to use. It was fun. |
 |
| Lots of little friends were able to come and we had a great time. |
 |
| Everyone wanted to help open presents. |
 |
| The boys on the tractor |
 |
| After most of the friends had gone home, J decided to teach the fine art of holding a chicken to her friend. |
 |
The day of her party was the most movement I had done since my ACL reconstruction the month before. Yes, that is 17 flights of stairs! Topped this distance a few days later while packing and cleaning for our trip to NE.

The first of two Birthday cakes in NE at Aunt Lori's home
|
 |
| 2nd Birthday cake with more relatives to share it with. |
 |
| Fun celebration at Aunt Lori's house in Scottsbluff. Ice Cream cake and six candles! |
 |
| We love being able to stay with Aunt Lori, she opens her home to any and all visitors while we are there. |
The girl had a great birthday and we are so blessed to have had her in our family these past six years. I pray we will have many more and be able to watch and teach her as she grows to love God and love others.
