The Girl is "TWO"

I still can't believe the munchkin is two! Time flies when you are having fun!



Well, the writing is on the wall...Neema's birthday was a sweet one!
Our hosts, LITTLE TREASURES, a Nasirembi establishment created a safe and fun place for Neema and the children that joined in on the fun.


All dressed up in her cute dress (thank you, Lawino), Neema was a true "princess".


Oblivious that the party was all about her, she just went with the flow. One minute she was in her pretty dress...contemplating whether she should...or shouldn't...


...and the next, she was in her bathing suit!
Although she was not in the water for long, she did enjoy the little time she was in the kiddie-pool.

Her guests had fun too!

Fortunately, it was a perfect sunny day...the cool kiddie-pool was very appealing!
Our guests, Rory...Brendan...Kale...Tatyanna...Yuri...Leila...Daniel...Akiko...Joe...thank you for the giggles, splashes, running, munching, swimming and all around birthday fun!





Even as we sang around the cake...then cut the cake...then ate the cake...the fun did not let up!







Considering it was Andy's and my first kiddie-party...we did good...
Thank you all, our hosts, our guests and the birthday girl!

Blankets & Wine March 2011

One of the most unique events in Nairobi, Blankets and Wine "is the premier Afro-based music festival in East Africa designed to showcase Afro fusion music." March was featuring Mutinda, J-Dee and Atemi. The venue was fantastic...an earthy Amphitheatre with a few tents (small and large) to protect the audience from the blazing sun.

Each time I go to these events, it gets better and better. This month, a whole bunch of us planned to go...it was a fabulous idea! Lots of food, drink and family....The music was good too!! lol!
