It seems like just yesterday when we were celebrating William's 5th birthday in Atlanta at Chuck E Cheese and getting ready to move to Sweden. Now we have settled into our new home and William is a year older!
It was amazing to me how many of his new friends were able to come to Nickies (Stockholm's version of Monkey Joe's). It was a treat to have his party on his actual birthday even though we were sad that dad was traveling to Barcelona that week. I was able to send Dwight photos and video using Ericsson phones and networks so he got to "experience" it virtually.
William had a wonderful time jumping with all his school mates. As the kids were all sitting down to eat rice crispy treats with orange spinkles (by request from William), I was amazed to see 25 children from 17 different countries! They all were chatting in English which is a second language for at least half the group and then I captured the kids singing the Swedish version of "Happy Birthday to You".
We will always remember his special birthday party in Sweden!

I love all of these entries! It makes me so sad, of course, that we couldn't celebrate William's 6th birthday with him. That is the first one we have ever missed! We thought about him a lot. We love the birthday cd. We listen to it all the time and Michael always says "when can William come home?". Amy and I talk about your visit home all the time. We are so excited. We are devoting that whole weekend to the Witherspoons!! Can't wait to see you.
WILLIAM,
SORRY WE COULD NOT BE WITH YOU ON YOUR BIRTHDAY. LOOKS LIKE YOU HAD A GREAT PARTY.
WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT YOUR TRIP BACK TO THE STATES ( AND A TRIP TO THE BEACH)
LOVE PAPA AND MIMI
Happy Birthday William!
It looks like it was great fun and the boys are getting so big. We can't wait to see you all again!
I can not believe how much older William is looking!! I still think of him as 4 but Savannah turning 4 is really a reality check! We are always sad to miss special occasions with the family. We are soooo looking forward to your visit. Savannah wants to wait until William is here to celebrate her birthday at the beach!!
