Most of the expat kids here have these very HUGE birthday parties. Our kids have been invited to many of them because they invite their whole classes. We decided this year to let Ethan have his "once in a lifetime" Indian Birthday party. We invited all the boys in his class, the Christensen family, the MacDonald family, the Chadwick family, and Baby and Vijay's families. I think we ended up with about 30 kids and 10 adults.
The day started out with Ethan so excited to open presents that he couldn't even get dressed first. The night before his birthday the girls walked down to the store by our house and bought him gifts with their own money. They got him notebooks and markers, and a squishy rubber ball and cricket cards. He also asked for a beyblade stadium. I'm not sure how popular these are in the U.S., but here they are really the "in" thing. They remind me of the game crossfire from when I was little.
When I asked Ethan what type of cake he wanted for his birthday party he told me he wanted a "BeyBlade" cake. I had no clue how I was going to pull this off and asked my friend Kathrina if she had any ideas. She is an amazing cake decorator. She told me that she wanted to try and make it, and it turned out GREAT!!!
The party had everything a kid could want...
Bounce house slide...
Tatoo artist...
Food...
Friends...
Magician...
Gifts...
And we couldn't leave out the camel rides...

| Baby didn't want to ride the camel after seeing the video of Katie and Tracy. I kept teasing her all morning telling her she had to ride it. She refused until Annie walked into the room and asked her to ride it with her. |

| Annie loved the camel so much. She wouldn't get off when it was over. When we finally finished the party she cried and then turned to the camel and said. "I love you camel" |
