Wibnesh turns Three!!

We are going backwards order with the pics. April 15 (yes tax day) Wibnesh turned the big 3. She of course had no clue what that meant but we tried to get her excited and we talked about it the week leading up to her big day. We sang "happy birthday" everyday and asked whose bday it was-she finally would answer correctly. It was weird to think back before she was with us and how we were so desperate to get her by her birthday. Now she has been with us for 4 months and we have celebrated her birthday. So here are some pics of the special day spent together as a family-we didn't have a big party for various reasons.






Oliver being silly with the frosting.


Sebastian enjoying his cake immensely.

She got her own Ethiopian flag cake(she didn't eat it all-she would've, but we stopped her)








Dressing up




Such a pretty



Her favorite thing was her doll from Nana Renee, she sleeps with it and carries it during the day. She is such a sweet little mommy, kissing, rocking and changing the babies diaper. I really think this shows how good the care is at Hannah's Hope. Because she saw them love on the babies and care for them in such a wonderful way, it is now natural for her.




She got soooo excited about the clothes

and the hair accessories.


It was so fun to see her smile and appreciate her gifts.

Best gift for any kid-BANDAIDS. I guess stickers too, but what cheap entertainment.
A mazing
Daring
Darling
Incredible

Enjoying the spoils of her birthday box.


Nana Renee loves putting things together to send to her grand kids.
Thanks Nana


Excited to open the BOX!!

This is her first piece of mail-ummm...the bar is set pretty high.

Wibnesh(Addis),
We had a wonderful day celebrating the day you were born. You have been through a lot in the last year and we pray that your heart will be healed and you will continue to be joyful as you grow. We are so thankful to you for showing us what we were missing and changing us forever. You are such a blessing. We love you.
Mom and Dad
