Yesterday (the 23rd) was Joanna's birthday! Wow! I can hardly believe my little girl is already 4. I can still remember quite clearly when she was a tiny little thing, being doted on by her big brother and sisters, carried around by Sarah & Esther, sitting in the doll stroller and carrier, cute as a button. Well, she still is doted on by her big brother and sisters often and still is cute as a button, but now she is the one pushing the doll stroller and carrying the carrier and carrying her own "babies". We thank our dear Father for our precious little daughter who is growing up so fast. She loves to be big like her bigger siblings and lately has been wanting to be the daddy when they play their many variations of house.
We took lots of pictures of her yesterday opening her presents, and videos of her joyfully jumping up and down and dancing around in her excitement over the balloons and streamers that Esther so sweetly decorated the playroom with. But, when I wanted to take some pictures of her and her "cake" (a pink and green turtle made out of carrot cupcakes), the camera wouldn't work anymore. All the pictures we took were wiped out. So, you'll just have to try to picture it from the descriptions provided. :)
So, Happy Birthday Joanna! We love you!
