Happy times for the Gnome Family in Saudi Arabia, s Baby Gnome turned 2 this week! She had a great birthday week (who wouldn't when the celebrations are spread across a week, instead of just a day?) ! It was great for Mama and Papa Gnome to see how much she has grown from her 1 year old birthday, which was essentially a playdate with her friends in Orlando, and Christmas where she was more interested in the unwrapping process than the gift giving/receiving part :).
Baby Gnome had a birthday party at Nursery, with all of her new friends, and learned how to emphasize that it was in fact 'my birthday!' When she came home that night we had our own little celebration for her, frusutrated by the lack of a working Vonage phone (i don't think that stupid phone is long for this world anymore), but opening all of her presents from around the world she was really excited!
When the weekend came Baby Gnome (with some help from Mama and Papa Gnome) hosted a pool party! Lots of her best friends came over and she smiled and had so much fun for hours on end.
The sad part of life in Saudi Arabia is that in the summer EVERYONE leaves, not that i blame any of them, but this also means that all of the Gnome family's friends are heading home soon. We are really going to miss them, especially the families that are moving on to bigger and better things next year. I guess its just part of the lifestyle, but we are definitely going to miss them!
Stay tuned for more updates soon!!!
