Sydney's birthday party

We had Sydney's birthday party yesterday, since her birthday falls on a Monday this year. We had 10 kids plus adults, wow what a party. We had a Dora themed party and a cake with Dora on it. We were able to rent the Community hall and provided lunch. Then cake and we opened the gifts as well. The kids played on the ball pit and I was not sure about having it open for the party, but I am so glad we did because it rained Saturday morning and it was perfect to have it inside. I was worried about it being to hot and being inside on a nice day. It did worm up and some even played on the playground outside. The ball pit is normally only open for parties and if you reserve it for the day and I think all the kids loved it because it is not something you get to use everyday. Sydney received a lot of nice gifts and all of her friends were there. Sydney gave them a goody bag to thank them for coming and they all went over really well. It is a party we will never forget and one day we will tell her about being in Abu Dhabi for her birthday. Not to many kids can say they have traveled like her all over the world.

We took cupcakes to her preschool today and they had a little party for her a day early since we are taking her to the zoo tomorrow for her birthday. Thank you to her school for letting us celebrate a day early and the cupcakes must have went over really well because they were all gone. :) The kids all got a goody bag from Sydney and they had the room decorated with balloons and banners. They really went all out for our little girl. We can't wait to go to the zoo tomorrow Paul is taking the day off and we are all spending the day together.
