A belated birthday celebration
 |
| Birthday gifts! |
 |
| We're not sure they have a brush, maybe we do a hair makeover day...I'm good at that. :) |
 |
| Cutting off the tags, check out Luda's smile! |
 |
| She is a very humble girl |
 |
| Having a laugh |
 |
| The activity where everyone had a turn |
 |
| The children don't like to sit on the cold concrete as their bum gets cold, so they squat. |
 |
| Long distance photo, I think I actually caught her smiling. She smiles a lot, it's just hard to get her in front of the camera. |
 |
| Our driver, Yevgeny, looking at the photo album they made yesterday. |
