My 26th birthday - African style!
The pictures pretty well speak for themselves. I had a great day! Thank you to everyone who made me feel so special!
Another fun thing that happened on my birthday that can't be commemorated in pictures is that my friends decided to sing the Happy Birthday song(s) multiple times per hour. It was hilarious and lasted until mid-week, when we started singing to sweet sue!
"Happy birthday to you..."
"It's a fact and we know it..."
"Happy, happy birthday..."
"Jump down, turn around.."
I am beyond blessed, not just because of another year to live for Him, but for amazing friends and family to share it with. ;)

| At our friends house, holding the "family birthday plate", onto which I piled Tamale Pie, Pumpkin Roll, Fruit Salad, Chips and French dip, salsa, and bean dip, and hand cranked (Thanks guys!) peach ice cream! Thank you so much Beth and friends!!! |
 |
| Birthday sign and balloons! |
 |
| Friends from home and friends from here = a beautifully celebrated day! |
 |
| They turned on the "Happy Birthday Song", so I was hoping a cake was coming... |
 |
| A cake with something like fireworks. I promised I'm not that old...the candles here are huge like that! |
 |
| I was not expecting the snow that smelled like cleaning supplies. |
 |
| Or the scoop of icing that ended up in my face. ;) |
 |
| You can even see the missing scoop of icing with my name on it. Oh well!! |
 |
| Birthday happies from home and friends here! Overwhelmed!! |
 |
| My sweet sister and brother-in-law sent packages wrapped in brown paper for me to open every week from my birthday til New Year's Day. SUCH a precious idea. Something to look forward to every week! I'm enjoying them IMMENSELY!! Thanks, Sis! |
 |
| Beautiful clothes from my grandparents! They have a great sense of style! |
