| Mommy made me a special pancake. |
I love
opening presents. |
Oh!!!! A doll almost as big as me! |
What fun getting all these shapes in the right hole. |
My village party was tons of fun. My friends made special flower leis for me. |
Everyone loved my birthday cake. |
| Why did Mommy put that little fire in the middle of the cake? |
My Wantoat friends have a tradition of collecting a small offering at birthdays to say Thank You to the Lord. |
Oooohhhh... That looks sticky and sweet! |
Oh, yeah. It was! |
Oooops. I think I got some icing on my flowers. |
I did a "high five" with my friend Salom, because that cake was so delicious! |
| We all had a good time at my party. |
Daddy blew up some balloons. |
And he blew some bubbles. |
Daddy bought some chickens to throw a big feast for my birthday. He said that is what the Wantoat people do. |
Mommy helped serve the food to all my village grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. |
At the party they sang worship songs and thanked God for bringing me into this world. |
