Alana's Birthday
Having a birthday in a new country, away from home, makes it a bit more of a special occasion. I wanted to make sure all the kids felt special on their birthday just because family and close friends were not around to help celebrate it. Alana enjoyed a Pajama Party for her birthday party which we had before our holidays. She was so excited for it, which made all the more exciting to plan it for her.

| Because I could not pull off a Fairy Cake, Alana settled on her second request for a cake; half purple, half pink. |

October 17, 2013 (her actual birthday)
We spent the morning at the hotel, enjoying a wonderful breakfast and one last swim before heading home.

Jolene's Birthday
It was so much fun celebrating Jolene's birthday. It was hard for her to be patient as we celebrated Alana's birthday, that when the day finally came, she was so excited. It was so neat to see how much she enjoyed everything about her day...her cupcakes, her friends coming over, the presents, and the messages she received.
 |
| Watching messages left on facebook from her cousins. So thrilled. |
 |
| Dressed up and enjoying a Ballet Dance Party. |

In the evening we had the Huizenga's come over for coffee and birthday cake to help us celebrate Jolene.
 |
| Singing Happy Birthday... not quite the reaction we got last year when she cried! |
Birthdays done for another year!!
