Arielle's party

June 28, 2009

Wake up in a new bed, orient ourselves and get ready to drive to Jonathan and Sheri's. We are the first to arrive and see Julia, Sheri and Jonathan busy getting ready.

Great Grampa and Great Gramma arrive first and the party starts. People continue to come over the next hour. Uncle Mike, Aunt Karen and cousin Adam as well as friends Vergil and Krist and Kai all sit on the deck having a great time. Of course Arielle and Kai are the centre of attention.

We wait to barbeque sausage, eat the food and then open presents and have cake. Things are going very well as we laugh and talk and just have fun on the deck. At least it is not raining and we can enjoy the outdoors a bit.

Arielle opens her presents (with the help of mom) and seems to love the attention. She is such a good girl who is having so much fun. Everyone is snapping pictures, its like the papparazi. (sp)

Then Arielle is placed in her high chair and she gets to eat a piece of chocolate cake with icing all by herself. It is both hilarious and adorable as she digs into the feast. She demolishes the icing in no time and then plays with the cake, she is just so cute. We love being here with everyone watching them enjoy her and laughing with them. We have such a great family and Sheri has such great friends. Her friend Marie came after work and was able to share in the festivities.

It was amazing but Arielle went to bed OK we thought she would be so hopped up on sugar that she would never go to sleep but she held to her schedule like the good girl she is.

We left after she went to bed and returned to Mike and Karen's to talk and play some games. Adam loves to play games, as to we so we had a great time playing 99 and cribbage. Mike finished his paper and joined us for a game of 99. Again it was great to catch up and talk with Mike and Karen and here what has been happening in their lives.

Went to be looking forward to a day with Julia, Sheri and Arielle.

Blessings,
