1. September 2012 Updates: Elijana’s birthday party Another cards game Hahgoot enjoyed these holidays: Pictionary!

2. Elijana’s mum decided to have her birthday party at a very short notice so we didn’t have time to buy a present. So Hahgoot made her a bracelet and a card herself.

3. The main attraction at the party was an inflatable jumping castle. Hahgoot coped really well with watching it being blown up and then jumped inside with her friends for a long time – two things I wouldn’t believe witnessing a few years ago... Alma, of course, was in the centre of things, jumping away!

4. There were two other families invited so altogether there were 11 kids jumping together!

5. The kids enjoyed the range of vehicles. Hahgoot had a go at the bicycle (still finds it hard to paddle, but made a good effort) While Alma checked out this motorized bike.

6. Then the hungry guests had some traditional party finger foods

7. Everyone enjoyed the equipment – They have such a nice kids–friendly yard!

8. Then Alma found the skates... And had to try them as well!

9. Time for ice cream cake! Hahgoot, Bethany and Rebecca tried to help Elijana blow the trick candles, but they kept lighting up again...

10. In our next presentation: Jasmin comes over for a sleepover!
