Elayna turns 6


After returning to Africa, we celebrated Elayna's 6th birthday a few weeks ago with her friend, Eliza. They share the same birthday and are good buddies. The last two years, they've asked to do their parties together. This year, the decided to have a tea party and sported their matching dresses. We call them the twins. Eliza's mom made this beautiful cake.


The girls made little dolls at the party and had a dress up relay.

Being the only boy at the tea party, Silas' job was to be the butler. He took his role seriously, holding the door for the girls and escorting each one to the table.


Elayna got this doll for her birthday. She'd been waiting several years to buy the doll with her money. Being a nicer doll, we told each of our girls they could buy one themselves when they turned 6, so they are old enough to take care of it and feel more responsibility having paid for it themselves. Elayna had watched her sisters each get one and greatly anticipated her turn.
