Birthday Party

Last weekend I went to a birthday party. My friend's twin sons had their 5th birthday. There were a lot of children there, and also quite a few adults. It was a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed myself. We had a barbecue with hamburgers and hot dogs, and then played some games. The kids played games with water outside because the weather was a little hot. They also broke a pinata. Do you know what a pinata is?

I baked this cake for my little friends, and also decorated it. It is an "under the sea" cake. It was fun to make, and it was delicious to eat!

I usually bake a birthday cake for them every year. You can see another cake I baked for them if you look on the very first post I put on this blog. Now the boys are older and bigger! http://eileen6131.blogspot.com/2006/02/my-first-blog.html

Some Great News!

A few weeks ago, before the Eid holiday, I told my students some wonderful news. I am pregnant, and the baby is due on February 22nd. My husband and I are very excited and we can't wait to meet our baby. This is our first child, so it is a new experience for us. We don't know if it will be a boy or a girl. We will wait and have a nice surprise.

We are trying to decide names for the baby. Do you have any ideas?

This picture comes from an ultrasound scan that the doctor did on October 22nd. Isn't it cool?
