The Birthday Post

I’m sure the grandparents are dying to see their grandkid’s birthday celebration! Well, I’ve kept you waiting long enough! Joshua turned 7 on the 3rd and Zoe, my niece, turned 1 on the 4th. It’s so exciting to have Zach and Anneke (Jeremy’s brother and his wife) working with us now! And to celebrate our kid’s birthdays together! We decided to do a joint party. Most kids can’t remember their first birthday anyway, and Joshua was content as long as he could invite some of his best buds. The kids swam, the adults talked, and we all enjoyed chicken on the braai, salad, and homemade bread. Scroll down to see my not-so-perfect birthday dessert!

Kids birthdays are great, right? I’m always so excited to plan every detail and then, at the end of the party, I’m always happy to put my feet up, and think about how fast my precious one is growing up!
