Jacobii has reached the age of 3. Yesterday we had a birthday party at Oma's house. There were 14 adults and 8 children present. The weather was just perfect, nice breeze, sunny, and a good day for the kids to get wet in the pool. Some of the adults, that seldom see each other, had a nice time catching up on everything. We had macaroni and tomato, garlic bread, and of course cake. It was pleasant enough to eat outside, no mosquitoes or bees. The kids all played very hard and most cried when it was time for everyone to go their separate ways. We heard "You can just leave me here", "Can she come with us", or plain "I do not want to go home now". There was not the first argument or fuss between the kids at all. They are all such good kids. It was so nice to see them all having a good time.
The four kinds in the front and the one in the car seat are Diona's, Jackson(blond in front), Logan(dark shirt), Montana(girl with baby Jamison), Baby Joseph(in car seat). Back Roy, Cobii, baby Joseph, Jewel(green shirt), and Jewel's brother Eri(on his daddy's shoulder). Those two belong to Angie.And of course, now it is cake time.
The round blue thing is the musical carousel that was on the top of Carrie's baby shower cake. Since Cobii cannot have all the colors, she got that and her candles looked like crayons.
Two last pictures are the latest and cutest editions to the VanValkenburg "extended" family.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe she is already three. Time flies. Can she not have colors because of allergy or because of red food dye? I know a lot of parents stay away from that because of hyperactivity.
