March 24, 2006. I still remember that day so clearly. As if it was only a year ago. Not eight years. How time flies! I still remember holding that little girl in may arms and softly repeating “Elfrieda Naomi. How nice it sounded!                                                                                                                                                               Now you  may be wondering,” Why did it take you so long to post this birthday post?” I don’t know either. Probably because I didn’t feel like it. Good excuse. Well, here are some pictures. The credit goes to Yesenia. She did a great job.

Elfrieda got to sit on Mama’s lap while opening gifts. Here she’s reading a card from Yesenia.

Mama putting the flowers from Yesenia in Elfrieda’s hair.

In the evening comes one of the best parts. Blowing out candles!

“Are you sure you can do it Mama?”

First comes the Bible…

and then the Bible case. These gifts were from Daddy and Mama.

 

“Just what I wanted! Lead pencils.”                                                                                                                              God bless your 8th year Elfrieda.                                                                                                                 Bianca
