Birthday!

Luna is now 4 years old! She had an awesome birthday, made even more awesome because Grandma and Grandpa McKenzie traveled all the way from Ohio to see us here in the middle of the South Pacific.

The weather wasn't the best while they were here, but we still managed to get around to visit the local beaches. When in Rome....


Luna loved having her grandparents here - she played the tour guide and introduced grandma and grandpa to all the local flora, fauna, and geologic wonders. She has already learned the first lesson of academia (when you don't know what you are talking about, just say it loudly and with confidence).


Of course, she also had to show off her sand dune surfing skillz.


Birthday morning!


Gifts included all sorts of magical unicorns and a special greenstone necklace from Grandpa.

Luna has already informed us that she is now a 'big girl' and will 'soon be a teenager because 4 is almost 14'. Dear God.


Luna shared her birthday party at the beach with Maia, her best friend here in NZ (in the red sweater). Maia and Luna have the same birthday and they share the same friends, so it worked out perfectly. The party was interrupted by a brief rainstorm, but that didn't stop the cake-fueled festivities.


Here are Maia and Luna dancing to "Love is in the Air" at school.
