Ice Cream Extravaganza! 🍦

 

We were so thankful to be able to celebrate our summer birthdays in-person with friends before school ended! The logistics were a bit challenging with current restrictions so we had three smaller parties for the girls with their different sets of friends. It was a bit of extra work for us, but not as bad as anticipated. 

We chose an ice cream theme this year and it was the perfect way to cool down in the Doha desert heat! We had a full ice cream bar with cupcakes baked in ice cream cones. Party activities included pin the cherry on the ice cream, ice cream bingo, pass the parcel, a piñata, and the most fun - making their own ice cream in mason jars!

I love how everything turned out and being able to celebrate these girls turning 8 and 6!

The setup and decor! I have been randomly purchasing things over the past few months whenever I saw them - unsure if we would even be able to have a party. I am amazed how everything fit together in the end!

These girls have some amazing friends! 😍

Desert Falls Water Park

This year a new waterpark opened in Qatar - Desert Falls. It's also a Hilton hotel and located close to the Saudi Arabia border. We booked a staycation there for April, but then Qatar went back into full lockdown and closed all pools so we cancelled. Thankfully they re-opened with a promotion for a day pass. We bought tickets to go with friends and celebrate the end of the school year!

The kids had a blast and the water park is amazing! We stayed from 10 am until 7 pm when they closed. Everyone was exhausted, but asking to go again soon. I would definitely recommend if you're in Qatar and need a way to beat the heat this summer!

Madi is EIGHT!

This sweet girl turned EIGHT years old today! Malls just re-opened to kids a couple days beforehand so she was able to pick her restaurant of choice - PF Changs. The girls all received their present back in May (roller blades so they could use them before the heat!), but we surprised her with new pajamas and some books that morning. 

Madison, you are a such a beautiful spirit. Thank you for being a great big sister, a good friend, and fun to be around. We love you and can’t believe you are already 8 years old!!
