This past weekend, we had the chance to help surprise one of our favorite people in the world at her birthday party. Mariya holds a very dear spot in the heart of our family. She has helped to take care of the girls when I am working since they were 15 months old. We truly have been so fortunate to have Mariya in our lives. She shares her loving, energetic spirit with the girls whenever they are in her care.
When I received an email from Mariya's mom inviting us to her surprise birthday party we were thrilled to help celebrate her special day. I had to keep the party a secret until the last minute so that the girls did'nt let the surprise slip! The party wasn't until late afternoon on Sunday so I put the girls down for an early nap and then finished getting myself ready to go. My little party animal Alyssa just couldn't get herself to sleep. As I was getting ready, I listened to her singing through the walls for an hour. When we got her up, she confessed that she was too excited about Mariya's birthday party to sleep!
