Fine Dining with Sim

Ben's Superhero Party

On Friday some well-known superheroes converged at our house to complete a mission- to rescue Ben's lambie, chick, and Matthew the horse.

Before they began, they watched a message from the joker. What a mean guy.

All of the party pics:

Ben's School Party

Bean is 4!

Ben turned four on Thursday! I really can't believe he's that old. We let him open gifts before school. Later that afternoon he had a party at school. On Friday we had his party at home. He LOVED that it was his birthday and has been so thrilled to be 4.

Fun Disney art stuff from the Buggs.

Superman goodies from the Franks.

NC State shirts and a Wii game from Katie and Sam.

Cinnamon rolls with blue icing.

Ben enjoying his hat, scarf, and gloves from Emma.

Camel Wrestling

Who doesn't enjoy spending a chilly Sunday watching camel wrestling with a crowd of 400-500 nationals?? Today we went with the C family and had a blast! Okay, so it was a little cold and the kids were a little whiny because they couldn't see, but all in all it was worth the trip.

Mmmmmm... camel sausage.

There they go shoving and pushing each other.
No, not the kids, the camels.
For those of you who have never seen camels wrestle, the winner is declared by pushing his opponent down or making him run away.

So they're a little cold and hungry. Let's eat...

a camel meat sandwich! Yay!
(All 6 of us tried it and didn't think it was too bad.)

But I did bring pb&j's too.

Ben took this picture. I thought it was cute.

Bonus: Can you find Katie (who is taking a picture) and Baby T in this photo?

A pantry stocked...

with goodies from America! Thanks PBCers!

Shower for R and K

We were able to shower our friends (who we met in training last year) with baby gifts while we were in Antalya. They live in a different country and don't have access to a lot of baby things. It was so fun celebrating the upcoming arrival of baby Oliver with them!! (And thanks DO for watching our kiddos so we could have a free night to do this!)
