It's birthday party time

Saturday, May 17, 2014

   I spent most of the morning preparing snacks for the birthday/nameday party in the afternoon. Just before noon, I put the pork chops and potatoes in the oven and left to pick up the cakes. After picking up the cakes, I went over to pick up Vlada and Blanka and we went back to babi’s together. 

    I was hoping the gluten and dairy free cake would look nice. It did! We also ordered a small sugar-free cake for babi. 

   The kids were so excited to have a cake and it was killing them to wait through lunch. After lunch we put candles on the cake and sang happy birthday to them. Then they got presents from babi, Vlada and Blanka. We also gave Vlada his nameday present. Stevie was excited to get the Pig Rock Raceway he has been wanting for weeks (if not months). Hannah enjoyed most playing with sticky foam. It is like play doh but is made out of tiny balls that stick together. Hannah cooked food with it in her new tea set and also made animals with Blanka. 

   At the end of the day, everyone was tired from all the partying.
