The weekend before her birthday we celbrated with friends...
the requisite Carrot Cake - with chocolate cream cheese icing this year (Mark came home, saw this, and said it was time to start telling Naomi "no". Hey, when its your birthday you can choose whatever cake/icing combination you want.)
There was a pinata, decorating fairy wings and crowns, and...
...a Teepee!!
Naomi's actual birthday was the following weekend, after we arrived in Colorado. Here's the birthday girl opening her present from us - a real necklace with a dragonfly. 
I am excited to think back on how wonderful it has been to be with her at home the last year and a half, and think about what a big girl she is now and all the things she will learn in the next year. We are leaving baby, toddler, and pre-school Naomi and have a Kindergarten-ready school girl.
The kids loved running through the woods and looking at the trees...
On the way home we found ourselves driving through San Francisco at dinner time. So, Fisherman's Warf it was...
After food, a walk along the warf, and almost losing three of four children, we headed out.
A very tired bunch of kiddos.
Last picture from the plane ride home. Wonderful travelers.
