Since she first saw a birthday celebrated here in America, Naomi has been counting down to her own special day. (First we had to master the calendar and how it works, followed by learning that everyone has their own birthday, then learning when hers was, they learning that waiting is hard and requires patience!) There has been a lot to learn to get her to this special day, but she has endured and was well rewarded today with a family-style birthday party in the Frozen Theme. There were certain requirements: a very colorful cake, games, Olaf, as much Frozen paraphernalia as possible, and of course, presents. (She was even so bold as to tell some of her relatives what they should bring for her!)
These Olaf socks friends seemed like a must for our craft-loving Naomi so we enjoyed creating a small army of these guys. Who wouldn't want to build this snowman??
Pin the parts on Olaf was great fun but not nearly as entertaining as watching the children battle the grownups in a game of "Sing the next line of this song from the movie." The kids had that one hands down!
Happy Birthday joyful Naomi! We loved celebrating your first American birthday with you today! You are growing in grace and maturity everyday and it is a great privilege to be your parents. We look forward to watching how God helps you grown even more in the next year!!!
What great fun it was to celebrate your 8th birthday with you. I loved watching you soak in the love and warmth of all your family and friends as they helped you enjoy your very special day. Love you lots and lots-Nana
