Surprise

We had found a really nice shirt which Noelle just loved.

HUGS

Noelle hugs Dad for her gift to be opened.

Yeah, Jean skirt

We found a MODEST length jean skirt for Noelle.

Gift on bed?

After opening the box, it only contained a message which read: "Gift on your bed". What could that be?

Comforter

The gift was a Tiger blanket which Noelle just loves!

Rootbeer

John tries his hand at making homemade rootbeer. A large scoop of vanilla ice cream sounds like the needed companion.

CHEERS

Certainly not as good as A&W Rootbeer, but hey - it's the mission field, what do you expect? Tasted great with the ice cream.

FRIENDS

Noelle invited 6 friends from Children's Church to her party.
