Amy's third birthday and her first birthday celebration! We made a big deal about her all day and she just blankly stared at us. Brent came home from camp late this afternoon and then we had a princess party with the girls. They dressed up and I did their hair, make up and nails. After dinner we got out the cake and put a birthday hat on Amy. She didn't want to keep the hat on and we weren't sure how to communicate with her that she was to blow out the candles that that her sisters were more than willing to do for her. Turns out Amy doesn't like fire too much so she had no problem blowing them out quickly! :-) It was actually more difficult to get her to open her presents. I didn't wrap them, I just put them in bags. She just kept showing us the pretty bags and wouldn't even glance inside even though we were all cheering her on to look inside. Angie and Karianne got a little impatient and were all for opening her presents for her. We finally got her to take a present out of the bag, but she didn't even look at it, just kinda took it out as if to say, "I took it out ok?" and then she tried to put it back in the bag. It was pretty fun to watch her figure it out and realize that she has probably never done anything like this before.
At dinner we prayed and thanked God for our food and Karianne chimed in as she always does, "and thank you Jesus Amy come home." Yes, we are so thankful that God has brought home our precious little girl from China. She is such a gift from God and we love her to pieces!
Happy Birthday Darlin'!
I finally put some pictures on our Flickr account and you can see more birthday pictures there.
It's official, I have 3 three year olds!
