Stella is 6 Years Old



Stella is an early January baby and as each new year begins she is a year older.  Today she and Marina came over and we all celebrated her 6-years-old birthday.

Our first surprise was that Marina and Stella came bearing a gift for us!  A beautiful bowl that they had painted and glazed and made with love:

 

In the afternoon Marina tried out her new roller blades:



I took my first jewelry class in college and have been making jewelry ever since.  I have an endless supply of beads and jewelry making supplies.  Whenever we see Marina and Stella they always admire the jewelry I’m wearing.  They are such girls!  Today they said they wanted to make something pretty to wear.  So they made their first piece of jewelry, a beautiful necklace:

 


Then we had cake with candles and Stella opened her presents:







Here she is modeling the hat that I knitted for her:



Stella did some housework for us and then they ran and played out in our little piece of paradise:





It was a wonderful day!
