Nika turned three today ... with a splash. Well, ok ... with a rather timid and cursory encounter with the pool.
But the party was lovely.

Mary, Paula, Liz and her friends ... mission- aries who live in the area ... helped to put together a special party for her. There were cupcakes and icecream, presents for everyone, and more balloons than we could stuff into the car on the way home.

It was a team effort, and it was great working together.
We all had a good time,
but there's no doubt that



Nika ends the day

knowing she is special and loved.
