Zara loves birthday parties!

When she heard everyone start singing Happy Birthday to max, she came a-running from the tango room, (see above) with a little yelp! 
 I really think she understood it was time to eat that amazing Choo choo cake 
Jill made for Max's 2nd Birthday!
The tango room used to be Max's grandma's tango dance room but since been converted to the Play area.  If you look closely you see me taking the picture, BUT far more exciting is the fact that you can see Helena sitting on the stairs near me!  
Helena and I went to school together in 5th and 6th grade in Tunis, North Africa.  She happened to be in NYC for business and seflessly took the bus to Tenley Town  to be with us for the entire weekend before returning home to her fours children in Sweden.  
Funnily enough, I actually mentioned Helena a few posts earlier b/c she was with Aisha in Holland too.  The three of us back in school were the closest of friends.  
Helena brought perfect gifts for Zara .. you can see 
her necklace that she hasn't taken off yet!

The Munch loved the pretty Helena!
Max with his Choo choo cake face!
Zara with her new accessory- the swedish necklace.

A Special Note for Aisha; who is laying in a hospital bed in Holland as i write this.  "We are all thinking of you and so relieved the surgery went so smoothly.  Our love to Kiara!"
Aisha is doing great after a major surgery and the doctors hope this will improve her mobility and relieve her pain so she can get out of that wheelchair! 
 Her positive attitude is paramount to her super fast recovery.  
We have spoken several times and she even got to speak to Helena and me at the same time from my DC!  How cool is that!?
