4 years of wonderful

It is hard to believe that Amelia turned 4 years old this past week.  She has turned into such a funny, observant (smart), loving little person who makes me proud to call her mine.  We were so lucky to have my mom here in Thailand (more on that to come) to help with her party and celebration.  That night we sat and decompressed and she said it was a very American birthday and you would have never guessed we were in Bangkok.  It was bitter sweet not having all our family or friends there from back home, but the house was filled with new friends and laughter.

4 going on 14 here!

Having an "American" party was not an easy task.  Amelia requested a Princess Tea Party with a princess cake.  It sounded easy, but with everything being a production to do here, it took time and some creativity.  I aimed for an easy bash, but it got a little more complicated then planned.  Amelia seemed to love it. 

My birthday princess

We had about 17 little kids and their parents at the party.  It was loud and crazy.  Here are a couple princess friends and the most expensive cake I have ever made.  The Betty Crocker mix cost me over $5 because it is a USA import.

 

Being in Thailand you take your shoes off before you go inside.  Our pile of shoes.

Leave it to the kids to have the most fun just playing on a golf cart.
