The Big Four!


Ah...the week of balloons, frosting, wrapping paper, and candles has drawn to a close.
Our little Sophia turned four yesterday! She had two neighborhood girls, two ballet friends, and three little girls from church over to celebrate.
I was quite surprised at the chaos (remember I'm still rather new at this whole mother thing), but was so glad that Sophia had a great time.
I enjoyed spending time with the mothers, three of whom do not know the Lord. It was a joy to see them interact with my Christian friends and find things in common.
Sophia received many fun gifts, including her first bicycle, a toy cash register, a tiarra, and a drum. Before the little ones started in on the food, we had a prayer that God would bless it and Sophia on her special day. When we said "Amen", she piped up and said she wanted to pray too. She proceeded to do so...in Spanish! She said, "Gracias Jesus por la comida y que eso es el cumpleanos de Sophia". (Thank you Jesus for the food and that this is Sophia's birthday). Too cute.
Blessings!
