Oh! The Party


Blessed by many.




The little people wore their Ethiopian best.


The Birthday Cake - another masterpiece by the most talented of cake makers! We are so thankful we've both moved within driving distance of each other over the past year. Such a gift.



Her first experience with cake, and sugar, and sweets since coming home.



And, while she doesn't have much of a sweet tooth...she definitely enjoyed her nibbles and playing with her cake.


It was a very long afternoon. The best kind. This house was full. Surrounded by friends, new and old - and even an orphanage roommate reunion, it was a true celebration.

She ended the day tired, content, beautifully peaceful, so...well...her.
