Happy 2nd Birthday Nadia

Yesterday, was Nadia's 2nd birthday! I can hardly believe she's 2. We gave her this Little People House and she was so busy playing with it that she couldn't even look at the camera for a picture. Grandpa had a brain wave Tuesday morning and decided to make a cake in the shape of a ladybug. What a cool idea. However, Nadia was not to sure about eating a ladybug but the rest of us enjoyed it.
Apparently it took a whole bottle of red food coloring to make the red icing. It really did turn out well though. And the two candles made for really cool burning antenna's.
Although it was Nadia's birthday it was not her happiest day. As those of you who called and asked to speak to Nadia, know she was having a "NO!" day. In fact she was quite grumpy and disagreeable all day long. So in the picture above I bribed her with a Smartie to talk with Oma. Fortunately it worked this time but then she was on to me and it only worked once.
This is a card from Great Grandpa & Grandma that Nadia liked very much. It has different pages with outfits on them and she thought it was very cute.

All in all, Nadia is one very spoiled girl. She was incredibly blessed on her birthday even if she doesn't know it. This is just one of the Radio Flyer's that she got from Grandma and Grandpa. To cool. We would just like to thank Grandma and Grandpa for the Birthday party and all the presents. And for Oma and Opa who sent presents from B.C. Also, Great Grandma and Grandpa and Great Oma, thanks for the cards and presents. And of course, Auntie Lisa who although she couldn't be here sent some lovely books about fish and pickles. And thank you to all those people who have helped us learn how to be parents over the last two years. We appreciate all the advise and conversations about how to raise a Godly little girl. We are extremely blessed to have such a network of friends that we can bounce idea's off of. Thank you everyone.

Tim, Annalisa and Nadia
