Happy birthday Grandma & Danny

October is a very busy month for birthdays. We celebrated Grandma and Danny's birthday on Sunday. It is really nice having a lot of family around for celebrations. It is always a party!
And we know the kids love to party.
They all loved the cake (even though I did not make it!).


YUMMY!!!

Dollies

My mom made the girls dolls! She knitted these beautiful dolls for the girls and they just love them. Sydney has not slept without her doll since my mom gave it to her. "It has yellow hair, dats what I wanted!" My mom brought over a book several months ago and asked the girls to pick out the doll that they wanted. She asked them to tell her the color of the dress and hair and imagine our surprise when three dolls appeared in the colors that the girls ordered! Jordan wanted a purple dress and brown hair.Lior wanted the same color as Jordan. Sydney wanted a pink dress and a doll with yellow hair and that is just what she got!
Rumor has it that there is a pattern for a cowboy doll for Akiva. Something tells me it will not be wearing a pink or purple dress or wearing earrings!

Vacation

I finally finished Harry Potter. Matt is thrilled because now he gets to read it, if only Sydney would go to sleep.
Now that I am done with the book I can sit down and write about vacation. It was wonderful! We had such a nice and relaxing time. It rained everyday but we managed to get the kids to the pool and the beach everyday.
We arrived on Friday and went straight to the pool. The kids adored it. We, of course, made them practice their swimming and they did not disappoint, they are great swimmers!
We headed to the beach on Saturday and were not sure we were going to stay the ocean was rough and there was a lot of wind but the kids had fun anyway.


They ignored Matt while he played in the sand.

Jordan ate sand.
The girls sat in the water and enjoyed the view.


And this was only the first day!
The girls enjoyed a walk on the dock with daddy while I enjoyed five minutes with Jordan in the restaurant.



It was a great time and the girls really enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa. We can not wait to do it again with Uncle Eric at the end of August.

I can only imagine how much bigger Jordan will be then!
