Happy 4th Birthday Isabella!

Today was Isabella's 4th birthday. She has been looking forward to her birthday in Thailand for a very long time, and today it was finally here. She was very excited. We went to church this morning and she had a good time. Then we went out to eat and finally made it home about 3pm. She and Zach took a nap until 5 and then we all went out to eat at her resturant of choice... McDonalds!
Here she is enjoying her hamburger happy meal.

Can you tell that she was excited? I think she looks a little crazed in this picture. :-)

She got a very nice nightgown from her new friend, Caina. Her dad is Australian and her mom is Thai. They are on staff with CCC here in Thailand and joined us a last week for the media project. The nightgown had Disney princesses on the front and she was thrilled. She also got a princess ring.

Liza brought cake mix and icing from home and made the cake yesterday. The lack of AC on the apartment she was baking in made it a real challenge, but the "crumble" cake that resulted tasted really good.
Zach enjoyed the cake and icecream too.

Isabella got some head bands from us along with a new snap-n-style doll.

She got some new pjs from Aunt LaDawn and family.

She got a tea set from Grammie that she was very excited about.

Here she is in her nightgown before bed.


Zach gave her a goodnight/happy birtday wrestling before they went to sleep. She had a great birthday and we were glad that our friends, old and new, could celebrate it with us! Thanks to all for your birthday wishes and for those we got to talk to on the phone, she was really happy to talk with you.
