It just happened that Maarti's fourth birthday landed right in the middle of our cruise. She was pretty excited that she was going to have her birthday on the boat. Our only problem with the birthday situation is trying to make Sam understand that we didn't plan this for Maarti and that just because her birthday was on the boat doesn't mean he gets to have his birthday in Thailand like he so desperately wants!
Opening presents:
Posing in her new Hello Kitty outfit:
We were exploring Juneau on Maarti's birthday. We went in one store and when we came out there was a Durango the same color as ours parked on the street. Maarti said "Daddy, why did you leave the Durango here?" It was pretty cute.
Yummy Birthday Dessert:
Sam took it on himself to let everyone know that it was Maarti's birthday so she actually had waiters sing to her and bring her dessert like this at every meal!
Don't the guys look so spiffy all dressed up for the party?
And one more special birthday surprise with love from Daddy:
We love you so much Maarti! We often say your middle name should have been joy because that is what you are full of ... JOY! It is such a blessing to have you in our family.
