Sweet Nadya Anne turned 4 about a month ago! Here is a photo of her at the playground on her big day.

We did however organized a party for her a few days earlier at school. It was a Dora themed party complete with a Dora birthday cake, hats, balloons and favors. She was a happy camper and she gifted her class with a beautiful pop up book. As usual all the great photographs lay dormant in my other camera; I do really need to empty it but I’m always pressing for time so the photos continue to sit.

There she is coming down the slide as happy as a lark, how time really flies, she really has grown… and blossomed

We had cupcakes for her after play; these came from Wholefoods Bake House

That is her a week earlier at Sophia Ordaz’s Birthday Party having her face painted.

She was really excited as it was her first first painting!

This shot was taken with little sister Petra at school; they had photo picture day and were all dressed up for it.

And Nadya’s second field trip

Looking back, it’s hard to believe how much she has blossomed and we’re very thankful for all the learning milestones. Happy Birthday Nadya; we love you very much!
