Dustin is 4!!!

D-Man had an awesome birthday!  He started the day surprised by all the balloons covering his bedroom floor and banners all over his door.  He was happy to show us how much he grew overnight and he was even more surprised by all the presents sent from friends and family!

After his choice of breakfast (cinnamon toast), we headed to Kidspace for a fun morning! Kidspace is a little known gem in Jakarta.  Dustin had the run of the place all to himself and had a great time!

They have sand tables!

They have a little ball pit with a slide, buckets, and pulleys!

We all LOVED the water table area!

We built with legos, did some tumbling and...

went to the moon!!!

Daddy's favorite was the giant foam lincoln logs!

After Kidspace, Dusty got to chose ANYTHING he wanted for lunch!  He chose his favorite Indonesian restaurant - Kentucky Fried Chicken (He had never been to KFC before moving to Indonesia, so he assumes this is an Indo thing!)

Then it was home for a little present opening.  We ate dinner downstairs where Dustin has become a celebrity.  They brought him cake and sang happy birthday and he got to open even more presents!

All in all, it was a GREAT day!  Dustin is already counting the days until he turns five!

Happy Birthday EE!

Emilie is officially 12 years old!  One more year until she is a teenager - AHHHH!!!

Her day started off with a little balloon rain when she opened her bedroom door to find a pile of balloons caving in on her! 

She was surprised to find so many presents sent from friends and family back home!

As is the tradition, Emilie chose sushi for her birthday dinner (thankfully, sushi is much cheaper here!). We enjoyed a delicious sushi dinner and then she was greeted with a sushi roll cake complete with a (somewhat) English version of Happy Birthday song by the staff at Sushi Groove.

After her sushi cake, she was given an ice cream sundae completely with more candles and corn flakes!

Once back to the apartment, we finished up her big birthday by putting up our Christmas tree.

Happy 12th Birthday EE!!!
