This weekend we had a couple of planned activities for Kaelia's 6th birthday. We had to celebrate early this year because her actual birthday is during Ramadan which means we wouldn't be able to order food or cake on the day and most places will be closed.

| Goodbye, Maren! |
So we started the festivities by bringing in cupcakes to Kaelia's class on Thursday. All of her classmates presented her with birthday cards, and Kaelia passed out her treats to everyone. She was so excited to celebrate with everyone. It was also a sad day, however, because one of her best friends, Maren, is moving out of Doha over the weekend. So the day was filled with laughter and tears.
On Saturday, Kaelia then had a little birthday playdate with her other best friend (or super BFF, as she likes to say), Ghalia. We all went to the outdoor water park in Doha to splash, swim, and slide in the water while it was over 100 degrees in the hot desert. The girls were so tired on the drive back home, that all three of them fell asleep in the car.
Once we got home, we all had Papa John's pizza and Coldstone oreo ice cream cake, although they were all still trying to find their energy after the water park. Then Kaelia opened up her presents. She got a cute dress from Ghalia, a Lego kit and big-eyed guy from Taelyn, and high heels and make-up from Justin and I. She loved them all! Then the rest of the day was spent upstairs in the playroom where all three girls played for hours; by this time the pizza and ice cream had its affect on the girls, and they were fired up once again. It was the perfect way for Kaelia to spend her birthday party!
