Shoo-Shoo's Visit

This week was a fun one for all of us because Susannah's grandmother, "Shoo-Shoo," came to visit.   We were so happy to have her with us.   Susannah especially, was so excited to have a grandparent here to play with.  
 
 
Peter had a long weekend for MLK so that meant he took Susannah to school and let her ride her bike. 

She was so excited to show it to her friends.

Dressed in our new sweater dress before taking Shoo Shoo to church.

We spent one morning at the indoor market.   Everybody bought some treats....this is the special chocolate one that Susannah talked her Daddy into getting for her.

A fountain in the indoor market where other people were having their picture made,

so we decided to follow suit even thought we have no clue as to its significance.

The princess dress obsession continues.   

And lately she has insisted she wear a birthday hat to go with her dress because "that's what princesses wear."
Speaking of birthdays, we had a little party for Shoo-Shoo's birthday on her first night here.   Funny story about this cake:   The ladies at the bakery were Kenyan and they told me that "Shoo Shoo" is the traditional name for grandmother in Kenyan.   So now Shoo Shoo can walk  proud with her multicultural grandmother name.
Make a wish!

Susannah was happy to help with the first taste test.

It was such a happy night.

Susannah helped open presents too.   She also announced "It's jewelry" before they started opening it. 
Thanks Shoo-Shoo for a wonderful visit.   (And for the lemoncello and other presents you brought us from Rome.)   We love you and we miss you already!
