Evan turned 9 yesterday. Birthdays are a big deal at this age. Evan had asked multiple times this year: "Where will my birthday be? In Ohio or Germany?" So, here it was. The Karchers came over and one neighbor, along with three people from Love-Berlin to help out. They played with the kids and kept them running (and wet!). The Hacksteins arrived home just in time to join the water game and help eat some of the food. Evan got the biggest chocolate bar in Germany, gummi bears, and some toys/games... and thought it was spectactular!
