Happy to be Five!

I'm pretty sure this picture was only taken just yesterday...

 And now all of a sudden she has gone and had her fifth birthday!!!

This birthday has actually been celebrated for a pretty long time....

First an early celebration with our little family.

Then a Pizza Party on her actual birthday with our extended family:

And then... a couple of weeks later we hung up a bunch of decorations and

welcomed 7 little girls to a zebra party! 

There was food...

 and presents...

 and games and crafts!!!

 

( There was also some jumping on beds, but we won't talk about that!!)

 

We Love you so much Maarti!! 

We love your soft heart,

we love your joyful presence,

we love all the ballerina shows you give us,

we love how you are becoming so brave and independent,

we love that you are so girlie,

We love that God gave us you... the best little girl we know!
