His first birthday party was celebrated in South Africa, but all of his other birthdays have taken place in Tanzania, including his 6th birthday this week.
In keeping with our life as a family working with MAF, we chose a very appropriate theme for his 6th birthday party: aeroplanes!
Here are some pictures from his "aeroplane" party. It was an easy theme to follow with the MAF hangar on our doorstep! We took the children to visit the planes in the hangar, where they took turns to sit in the pilot's seat next to Andrew and then they each took home a photo themselves "piloting" a plane. Then there was the aeroplane cake, aeroplane biscuits to ice, aeroplane pictures to create and aeroplane-themed games! One of the mums who dropped off her daughter for the party even wore her special plane-shaped ear-rings in honour of the occasion (see photo at the end)! All good fun...
Looks like they all had great fun, especially Ben the birthday boy, and maybe there'll be some budding pilots amongst them after trying the controls in Andrew's plane. Esther seems keen to show us her gappy mouth, she's been keeping the tooth fairy busy! Joel really looks the part of pilot. Another happy memory to store away. love nana
