What a great day we had to celebrate our au pairs’ birthdays. On Sunday,May 5th,we gathered at the Rose garden in Arlington,Va for our Annual Birthday celebration.About 60 au pairs from around the world came to spend a couple of hours with us,mingling and getting to know new people before playing a game-we asked them to create a hat out of 3 pieces of aluminum foil and had them vote for the most creative idea- and eating 2 full sheets of birthday cake!
The Au Pair In America group of Arlington and Falls Church had a great cluster meeting last night at Whole Foods of Clarendon,learning about healthy food and healthy habits.
