Happy Birthday Kendyl!

Our baby Kendyl just celebrated her 6th birthday! What a beautiful little girl she has turned out to be! We are so proud of her.

This year she really wanted to get her ears pierced for her birthday. Since we couldn't find decent quality affordable earrings here, we found some online and it just so happened that our friend had to go back to the states for a quick trip and she was willing to bring them back down with her a couple weeks before her birthday!

And here's the crazy part...you can actually get your ears pierced by the pediatrician at the hospital! No joke. It's very cultural here that all the baby girls get their ears pierced before leaving the hospital so, I guess it makes sense. Oh, and did I mention that he just pops 'em in by hand! yeeah. But believe it or not it was the most easy, smooth process in the world! Kendyl was a trooper and it was over before she even flinched. She chose to get them done before her birthday so she could have sparkly ears for her party!

She decided to have an everything "strawberry" party so strawberry cake, strawberry decorations, Strawberry Shortcake piñata, and of course strawberries! You get the picture. And of course Jamie had to make a special cake fit for a princess. Kendyl had a fabulous time with her little friends, most of which are other missionary kids whose parents will soon be graduating from language school and moving on to other countries. :(
The party gave her lots of fabulous memories to remember them by!

Happy Birthday Kendyl Boo!
