Birthday Celebrations!

We've had a fun week celebrating Anna Grace's 4th birthday and Caleb's 1st!
Anna Grace had a Girl Spa Party- complete with stations for makeup, nails, hair, oatmeal hand moisturizer/lotions and edible jewelry.
We had such a great time with all the "ladies" of the team (except Kristen- who is waiting for all of us in Cusco!)

Anna Grace and her verse that David prays over her every morning

Eliza and her edible bracelet- which didn't last long!

This afternoon, we celebrated Caleb's 1st birthday with a Dino-mite party at the park. (Though all of the Ticos looked at us strangely, because the park is the LAST place they have birthday parties!)
Can't believe he is already 1... I've joked that his first word would be in Spanish, but he proved me wrong by saying "Up" yesterday.  Very useful word- especially when you like to be carried around everywhere!

Birthday Boy!

Celebrating at the park

Dinosaur cake- yum!

The line-up... waiting for cake and ice cream!

Princess Dancing Party!

 Eliza turned 2 on October 10th, and we celebrated with some friends here at Language School.  First off, it was a “Princess Dancing Party.”  Dressing up was not optional- dress code was strictly enforced.

We made princess crowns out of construction paper and stickers, and they ate yummy snacks (thanks to those great care packages from Aunt Debbie, Emmie & Grandma!)

Next, David read a sweet princess/daddy story.

(More like half of the story, because the sugar had hit our princesses!)

We sang “Happy Birthday” and Eliza blew out her candle right on cue.  She knew exactly what to do.  Please notice the cake we bought at a local bakery (complete with bright icing and M&M’s. Interesting....)

On to the dancing... to Spanish Bible songs of course!

What a great time we had with Eliza and Anna Grace’s sweet friends!

By the way, who needs tricycles when you can share a rock?
