The night before our moving day, Hollye was surprised when our neighbors Sat and Donna said they and their boys would come over about five the next evening for the party. Hollye tried hard not to act like she did not know what was going on but she did have to ask something! It turned out that Hannah, who's birthday is August 23, had invited a few people over for an early celebration, and hadn't bothered to inform (or invite) us. The next day, Nancy Bernstein called to let us know that she and Fred were coming over for the party and that she had a gift for Hannah and what kind of cake would Hannah like?! The next day the Bernsteins, Chinapens and later the Khalids came over and had ice cream and cake and Hannah got some nice presents. She was pretty pleased with herself, I think.

We were in Texas at the time, staying with the Berry's. We celebrated both James' and Hannah's birthday by going to a Mexican restaurant. They let them wear a big sombrero and sang them a silly song. Then we all walked to the Berry's shop to open presents. The whole Berry clan came and James and Hannah had lots of presents to open. The girls favorite thing though was their cousin Steven. He nick-named them Randy (Hannah), Michael (Alena) and Hank (Erilynn). They were so pleased with their new names, they gave him one too: Silly Billy Barbie boy.

Since the 23rd was Hannah's real birthday, we had to celebrate it yet again. Apparently, only twice was not enough! Her aunt Margie bought her an ice cream cake. Yummy! If the other children figure out how to swing 3 birthday parties, I'm in big trouble. Let's see 3 x 5 =15 plus Hollye will want a whole week...

When Mrs.Bernstain was babysitting I pulled her into a corner and told her that on wednsday she was sopposed to bring me a present and a cake for a party. Well apparently mom and dad did NOT Know I was planning a party. I also told the Chinapens to come.When mom DID find out I was planning a party Mrs.Bernstain called to ask what kind of cake I wanted she said a small cake because she thought it would only be The Bernstains and the Chinapen CHILDREN.Turned out to be us,all the Chinapens,(plus their parents,grandparents and cousin)and the Khalids!
Thats the way to get presents!
