Olympic Ready

We are ready for a party... 

{Alekzander is still convinced that its a birthday party}

Its the third gathering for the viewing of the 

Olympic Opening Ceremonies with some sweet friends.

The first time in 2008 {sans children}, we ate Chinese take-out 

and watched the ceremonies when they were in Beijing, 

then we watched the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games 

{this time with one toddler and one newborn} 

and feasted on cuisines and beverages from several different countries.

This year, there has been quite a lot of excitement
and build-up shared among the 'big kids' over this event.  

The little ones {now almost 4, 2.75, and 1.5} 

don't even know what they're in for.

Custom-designed Olympic T-shirts

{Designed by Andrew produced until 3 a.m. on the eve of the ceremonies}

Australia :: Lauryn

The Gambia :: Blake
