Ok, I have slacked off a bit and am now a couple entries behind. Non-the-less I can’t believe my little girl has turned 3! On Friday the 28th of January Alexandra Sasha turned 3 years old. Sasha has had some recent birthday experiences (with her cousin Aaron’s birthday in September, Caitlin’s b-day in November, Papa’s birthday in December, Jesus’ birthday in December, and then Michael’s birthday 3 days before Sasha’s big day) and she was geared and ready to go by party time.
We wanted to make this a special birthday for Sasha as it was probably the first birthday she has ever celebrated, they typically don’t have the resources to celebrate in the orphanages. Thursday night after Sasha went to bed, Grams came over with a car load (and I mean a car load) of helium filled balloons.
We put up balloons, streamers, table decorations, and about everything else you can imagine to give little Sasha a very Curious (George) birthday. The next morning when she woke up she was very excited to see all the decorations. She went from sleepy, groggy, slumber-like trance to a toddler auctioneer in about 2 seconds.
That day Papa came home from work at 11am and took Sasha to the park....yes the park. It was 70 degrees on her birthday, maybe a little present from above (granted the following week was 18 below). We played at the park and then had a gourmet meal at Sasha's favorite 4 star restaurant... McDonalds.
That night we have a few close friends over to help us celebrate this big event. Sasha and the other’s had a fantastic time with pizza, cake, presents, and much much playing. All in all it was a fun and successful night.
