April 16- Celebrating Naomi's Birthday

Well, Naomi's Birthday is really on April 17th, but April 16th I opened my 40 day fast with our teammates and then we celebrated Naomi's birthday per her request with "my friends and Mommy and Daddy's friends." It was just a day of celebration. We got Naomi a big girl's bike for her birthday because when we went on walks and she rode her tricycle she said it hurt her knees. Now she can have a big bike, Nora gets the tricycle, and Nadia gets the little car. It works out great.

She was excited about her bike but a little cautious about getting on it at first.

The girls were giving the peace sign per Daddy's request and just being funny.

All of us giving the infamous Indonesian picture taking sign-peace.

After a little while, Naomi warmed up to the bike, but wanted help on and off. I taught her how she can get on and off by herself. Now look at her go. No stopping her now!

Opening up her friend's gifts. Playdough and the movie "Tangled." Great gifts!

Let the party begin...

Happy 4th Birthday our sweet princess, Naomi!

~
She likes it when people sing Happy Birthday to her (the English and Indonesian version),
but she did get a little shy when we surrounded her with song and
waiting for her to blow out the candles.

~
But she got the candles blown out!

It ended up being a really great day. We had a lot of fun celebrating our first baby girl's 4th birthday. What a blessing all the way around! We ended the evening gathering around with some of our friends that stayed longer and sang some praise and worship songs to God!
