Happy 5th Birthday, Michala!

Well, this was the big year! Nana, Papa, and Grammy Beaver gave Michala a Twinn Doll for her big 5th birthday. She was so surprised! It was hard to keep it from her during all the planning/ picture taking to get the right profile, but we pulled it off! Nana even came to visit to be able to give it to her.

This year, Michala wanted a Hawaiian birthday. (For those of you who don't know, Mike and I celebrated our 10th anniversary there back in December, thus, Michala loving anything hawaiian!) Micah really got into the spirit of things bringing his little ukulelee we brought him from our trip. He even serenaded all the girls by singing "Pineapple Princess" to them. We laughed so hard!
This birthday was especially fun because Michala was able to share the party with some Southland friends, Julia Sasek and Emma Gustafson. We had the party after the summer staff had gone home, so all the full time staff came to the party. The girls enjoyed having all their friends together, and we adults really enjoyed having some fellowship with dear friends.

Michala was so excited to wear her matching Twinn Doll jammies to bed that night. This gift is so special!

Thanks for your little update...I was starting to think that you had decided not to blog anymore :) Your family picture is just perfect! Your kids are getting so big. Looking forward to seeing you next time you're home. We miss you here!
