Happy Birthday Karleigh Mei!!

Happy Birthday Karleigh Mei!!!

This past weekend we celebrated our sweet girl turning 4! It was her first birthday since she has been HOME and we loved celebrating her!!

She was SOOOOO excited about having a cake with candles...just for HER! She's been talking about this day for a LONG time now, as just about everyone has had a birthday EXCEPT her!! She had just turned 3 a month prior to us getting her in China.

Here she is just beaming!!

Blowing out the candles...it took a couple of tries, cause, you know, when you turn 4 you've got a lot of candles!

So excited about Mama cutting her cake! She was so cute...she told me thank you for doing such a good job at carrying the cake to her with the lighted candles! She said I did a good job walking slowly! :)
Eating some of her birthday cake with Garrison.
Karleigh Mei was sooooo sweet and was telling everyone thank you for her party and that she loved everybody!! She said it several times, she was just so thankful and happy! And this was when she had forgotten she still had PRESENTS to open!!!

Here she is getting excited about the first one coming to her.

Reading the card and who the gift was from.
Yay!! A pretty purse!!
Can you believe Grandma got you some PAINTS!!?? Yippee!!
As all the gifts were coming in, she was trying to guess what was in each package, always guessing that it might be a bike...the ultimate birthday gift!

Here she is when we reveal her new bike and she sees it for the first time!

Climbing on her new bike as fast as she can!
One happy, beautiful 4 year old girl!!

We love you Karleigh Mei Qian Qian!!!!!! What a blessing you are to our family and so many others. I can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for you!!
