Happy Birthday Dalia


Dalia was very happy about her birthday, and wanted a special Mermaid decorated cake which will be lemon and strawberries cake... Well, mom Ayana managed to fullfil all of Dalia's wishes. It was it had a mermaid, and an ocean, and even sand and sea shells; and it was lemon and strawberries cake! It was also very delicious!

When the neighbor aske Dalia how old she was, Dalia said "almost three". This was actually true, as we celebrated it a bit early this year. But that is not the point, it was her three year birthday! When Ayana told her that a birthday means that she is actually three, Dalia ran all over the place with joyful announcements "I am three everybody! I am three!"

It is funny to watch how aging makes the little ones so happy, and as we grow older we wish we still stayed a year younger. I will refuse to announce another age in my life even a day before my birthday... The little ones are probably right. Every year we have is a celebration!

It was Irit's 60th birhtday and I stayed with Dina and her family. Israel and Gail came from NY

I came to celebrate Irit's 60th birthday; Irit my childhood best friend. I stayed with Dina who opened her home to me, and made me feel like a true friend. I loved her family especially little Rachel that adopted me as part of the family. The birthday celebration was beautiful and exciting. I spent also a few days walking all around Washington DC with Israel and Gail, and sometimes with Dina too. New and old friendships are warming ones heart...
