Mali's Fourth Birthday

Mali celebrated her fourth birthday at a park with her playgroup and school friends. Mali is quite grown-up these days. She loves to play with her "girls" (aka dolls) and little people, building beds and houses for them out of blocks. She loves to do the monkey bars and anything to do with water. She knows how to write all of her letters now and even learned how to spell "elephant" recently! She still loves her clothes and will change outfits all day long if left to her own devices. She's also very artistic and especially loves to draw rainbows, flowers, people, and cats (see some of her artwork below!). Here are some pictures from her birthday celebrations.

Here's a picture she drew of herself with an ice cream cone:















Here's a picture of a cat and she wrote the names of everyone in the family (except for Deven!):















Here's a picture of her and Roan with ice cream cones under the sun:















Here's a picture of the family (minus daddy or roan):

And here is a picture of some rainbows (note the gold on the clouds :)), flowers, butterflies and hearts:
