Happy Birthday Ella!

My little friend Ella turned 2 years old today!  Can you believe it?  How did we all grow up so fast?  I remember going to her first birthday part just a month or two ago??  Wow...the time flies. 

This birthday party was sooo fun!  There were a TON of people there to celebrate and so so many kids to play with.  Ella lives at Onsea House which is a bed and breakfast here in Arusha that her Dad runs.  So, she has a really great pool and grass area.  Her Uncle is the chef at their restaurant and he made all the yummy food and the cake....so it was really fantastic.  They even found a bounce house to rent!  All my favorite friends were there to play and it was great.  It may be the last time that we are all together.  In just a week or so, Aiden and Ella will be on the plane home to Belgium and Canada so they can meet their new littl siblings (their Mommy's are getting ready to have new babies).  Then, we will leave....and in a few more months after that Sophia will leave with her parents to move to a new adventure.  So, Ella's party was a great opportunity for everyone to be together and enjoy this hot hot sun! Happy Birthday Ella and thank you for being one of my very first friends.  I'm going to miss you!

That is so funny! Going to Onsea House was the first thing that took us 1 1/2 years ago out of the compound for the evening, as friends of Maureen's were lodging there and we had dinner together. It was incredibly delicious! You definitely have to tell me where in Belgium Ella's Dad is going to cook and I'll go there one day! :)
