Birthday Part 1

Today is my birthday and our REALLY awesome friends, The Agarwals celebrated my birthday this morning in Florida :) They are the coolest people ever!! (We miss you guys!!!) The boys decorated a b-day sign for me and made some cool decorations (that you can't see in this pic)... they had special birthday pancakes with candles and singing :) They really made my day :) We're so far away, but it doesn't feel that way :) Thanks for making my birthday so special!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!
Today we went out to a mall area with some of our friends... it's quite a ways from our house and I haven't been here in almost a year. While we were walking around, we found a "Build-a-Bear" store! I love teddy bears so we just had to make one for Jellybean :) My little buddies Gracey and Faith helped me with my bear... so this bear is super special - it has 3 hearts in it :) (you can see us with the hearts in the pic below)
After we finished making the bear, we had to say the pledge that we would take care and love the bear :) haha! It was funny!
Here's us in front of the store with our bear... I mean, with Jellybean's bear :) On another note, today is not only my birthday, but the begining of a holiday here called Durga Puja - it's a part of a 9 day holiday that is going on right now called Navratri... one of the things they do on this holiday is make lots of food and give it out for free... here are some people wait for food :)
Here's a big line of people waiting for food :)
THere are a lot of all night pujas (w'ship times) going on right now... You can see a pic of some of the stuff going on below... this is a pic of the g0ddess that they w'ship during this time...

Happy Birthday, Andrea! You look great, and it must be so fun to have all these pregger girlfriends sharing the experience together. (I've been able to do that a few times that coincided with my friends as well, and it totally rocks!) We miss you guys and can't wait to meet Jellybean!

Happy Birthday! Looks like you had a fun day! Mine is tomorrow--I didn't know ours were this close. What fun. I don't think we'll be building bears though! We are going to a 2 year old birthday party though with Micah. Fun times.

Happy Birthday!! (again :) I didn't know there was a Build-a-Bear here. Maybe we need to take Hazel and Jellybean there sometime next spring. Of course it will be for our benefit since they won't know what's happening. :)

I hope you had an awesome day! I love that you went to Build A Bear- I thought it would only be a place girls liked, but our boys are intrigued by it! They have a Build A Dino in Miami that Collin adores! It's so cool! What did you guys name the bear for Jellybean?

Hey Happy Birthday! That's awesome that you got Jellybean a Build-A-Bear. We took the girls once, and that bear became Hopers favorite thing in the world! I hope you got one of the "washable" ones because we have to wash hers all the time (there are some pretty gross things that end up on a baby/toddler's favorite toy hahaha!!).

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll

Funny Things - Age Appropriate?
