The Barbie Pink Birthday

Four years ago on July 3, in a tiny hospital set in the Minnesota corn fields, we welcomed our little firecracker - Miss Natalie Aerin.  What a fabulous addition she has been to our family!!  They don't come much cuter, sweeter, smarter or funnier than her.  In her young life, she has lived in 3 states and now 2 African countries.  She is a champion traveler, a prolific artist, and a hamtastic baby of the family. 

Her 4th birthday came just a week after we landed in Tana, so we had to be prepared.  I brought her chosen cake mix (strawberry), frosting (pink) and sprinkles (hot pink) in my suitcase, and mailed her gifts ahead. Aaron wrapped them all and had them waiting, along with a HUGE surprise....something he handmade for her!
