Our Mandy is six!

 

Birthdays always remind us of how fast time flies by.  Mandy was 2, almost 3 when we first saw her in Urumqi and now she is six!  Her birthday was Friday and we had a small  party with the four of us and then today she had a circus birthday party.  She was very excited about her birthday this year and she had a great time.

           Mandy has developed an interest in the drums.  You notice she has an electric drum on the floor and hitting a drum in front of her. Now for her party.  Opening her present from Kathie.  She loves the art supplies, thank you.

Abri Miller gave Mandy her second webkin.  If you do not know what that is, ask a child.

Lizzy and Mandy with head gear.  Large, large balloon crown.  On the first hit the pinata came down but didn't break and so we tried to break it open on the ground.  Here  Jessi is trying to clobber it.

Becca tried her hand and finally Nathan who was trying to stay away from girls with a base ball bat split it open.  Candy for all!  We all had a good time and celebrated the birth and a wonderful girl.  Once again - Happy Birthday, Mandy!
