30 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 20: Mae, the birthday girl!

Happy Birthday, Mae! We have a 6-year old daughter as of today, and we think she is pretty incredible. Mae is a fantastic friend, a daring language-learner, a quick and intelligent student, an awesome pretender, and a fun sister. We enjoyed hosting a birthday party for her today--she invited her entire class (something we keep saying we'll never do) and a few neighbors, and nearly all came, which meant for a big group (in Nicaragua, kids usually attend parties with their families)! We're exhausted but we had a fun "dolphin-themed" time, despite the crummy swimming weather--thankfully the rain cleared up eventually. We are so thankful for the 6 years of life that God has given Mae. . .what a gift!
