Paige's 4th Birthday

On the 24th of February Paige turned 4 years old. In leading up to her birthday Paige decided that she would like to have a birthday party so going from a Princess Party to a Super Hero Party she finally decided that she wanted a Dora Party.
I had to put my thinking cap on for this request as you can not find anything to do with Dora here in Mongolia. With some creative ideas, a printer, pictures from the web the Dora birthday party was a success.
Paige had four friends over to the apartment where we played games like pass the parcel, pin the tail on Boots the Monkey, treasure hunt and a dancing game where each of the children won a prize.
After two hours it was great to have some peace and quite until the evening. Ben and friend Dave put a fire works display on for Paige. Earlier in the week Ben and I went to a shop that sells fireworks so to top Paige's birthday off it ended with a bang.
Ben and Dave where like boys with new toys as they lit each rocket and firework bomb.
I am not sure if Paige will remember her special day but I think Ben and I will being one of our better and brighter times in Mongolia.
