MAKIAH TURNS FIVE

Makiah turned five-years-old this week and today we celebrated with a party in our back yard.  The group of thirteen included six girls, both parents, both sets of grandparents and an aunt.

The crowd, including (clockwise from upper left) Rylie, Miranda, Debra, Baylee, Becky, Tom, Ruth, Gracie and Josie, gathers to watch Makiah open her gifts.

Makiah's jaw drops as a sign that she is pleased with her gift.

Makiah places her own candles on her cup-birthday-cakes.

Makiah has had a birthday party at our house every year since she was born.  When she turned one-year-old, we celebrated with a Hawaiian theme.
