Birthday Celebrations!

We've had a fun week celebrating Anna Grace's 4th birthday and Caleb's 1st!
Anna Grace had a Girl Spa Party- complete with stations for makeup, nails, hair, oatmeal hand moisturizer/lotions and edible jewelry.
We had such a great time with all the "ladies" of the team (except Kristen- who is waiting for all of us in Cusco!)

Anna Grace and her verse that David prays over her every morning

Eliza and her edible bracelet- which didn't last long!

Birthday Girl- after the make over!

This afternoon, we celebrated Caleb's 1st birthday with a Dino-mite party at the park. (Though all of the Ticos looked at us strangely, because the park is the LAST place they have birthday parties!)
Can't believe he is already 1... I've joked that his first word would be in Spanish, but he proved me wrong by saying "Up" yesterday.  Very useful word- especially when you like to be carried around everywhere!

Birthday Boy!

Celebrating at the park

Dinosaur cake- yum!

The line-up... waiting for cake and ice cream!

She's 4!

I want to celebrate the life of our sweet Anna Grace.  We are so proud of her.  She is a great big sister to Eliza and Caleb.  She is also very thoughtful, making special gifts or surprises to deliver to other people (almost every day!)  AG loves to sing (in English & Spanish), dance around the house in swirly skirts, play kitchen, read books, watch movies (especially Princess, Tinkerbell, Dora & Strawberry Shortcake!), and help mommy and daddy.  Although she may not be the first to volunteer, she likes to try new, brave things.  School has been so much fun for her- she consistently talks about her friends, Teacher Pa-ME-la (said in a Spanish accent, of course) and brings home fun crafts and projects with the letter "A" written on them by her sweet, little hand.
We love you, Anna Grace and thank God for you beautiful life!
