Birthdays back to back

October is a busy month for us birthday wise. Benjamin has one on the 8th, Hannah the 30th and Joshua the 31st. This year was an extra special for Hannah and Joshua. We had the Keller family with us. They moved to Rio Branco from Manaus to work with us. They stayed in our house for almost 3 weeks so Hannah and Joshua were able to have special guests for their birthdays. The cakes I made as you can tell they are certainly nothing special. I do not like to bake and thought of buying cakes, but the children for some strange reason like it better when I personally bake them a cake.

Joshua wanted a hot dog cookout for his birthday. We even had the marshmellows, but then it rained and rained. So, we still had hot dogs only cooked in the oven. He was so excited even with the rain. Joshua usually has a good attitude. He turned 8 years old.

Hannah wanted grilled hamburgers for her birthday. Thankfully it did not rain on her birthday. She turned 11 and is such a big help.
