Laowai

The balloon fairies filled her room with balloons the night before. Here she is right after she woke up to the surprise.

The balloons migrated to the living room and then she danced in her tutu (a Christmas present from Aunt Jennifer).

We had a birthday lunch so that she could spend the rest of the day playing with her presents. I really enjoy decorating and making a cake for birthdays.

Here’s where Mommy got a little sentimental and teary-eyed. I can’t help it. All the moments from her tender life rush back to me. And then my heart fills to the brim with love for her. She was all “let go Mommy and lets get on with opening presents”.

There are the little red shoes that I splurged on. Her dollies just had to have something to go with all their new outfits right.

Pink cake of course. 

Here’s the candle blowing expert. 

And now she starts her 4th year (or I guess it’s technically her 5th year). It’s going to be another big one. I’m looking forward to a fantastic summer and then she will be a kindergartener in the Fall. Here we go.
