Happy Birthday, Lexi




Alexis turned four this month. We had a cake that Nicole made, and some presents that we had brought with us just for the celebration.

Missionary Kids call other missionaries "uncle" or "aunt". It helps them keep a sense of extended family. We had about 35 "uncles and aunts" and their families join us for the party. We all had a small piece of cake and ice cream.

We invited all the missionaries because we wanted the day to be extra-special since she misses her family in the States. We were pleasantly surprised when they all showed up.

Here are a few pictures of the birthday girl. Hope you enjoy!
