This past week our Embassy offered a festive patriotic July 4th party

It was complete with bounce houses, popcorn, cotton candy and bike parades

The evening was topped of with a firework show

One of the very best parts of being an Embassy family is having Embassy friends

I can count on my kids having instant playdates when we walk onto the grounds

There are swings to play on, fields to run in and games to be played with the best of friends

Easter hunt x 2

The Embassy hosted a Easter party/breakfast the weekend before Easter.  My littles were spoiled and enjoyed 2 egg hunts in one week.  The bigs just had another excuse to hang out with their gang of friends at the embassy for the morning.  We had been up the night before helping Sam with a job that she had received.  She was asked to bake 200 chocolate chip cookies for the party.  She gladly accepted the job since she is desperate for money.  As the clock started ticking she was happy to have everyone chip in make the process move along.  200 is a lot of cookies!   

 Maybe this is why the process was taking longer than expected??
