Feels like the last two days passed in a whirlwind.
My birthday was nice. We had a women's group meeting. Afterward Nidia and Yamileth took me out for cake, but it was already dinnertime and Fany had baleadas waiting, so Yami and I split a pineapple pastry. Nidia ordered a cupcake, so I posed with that for photos. It was vanilla, so I chose the pineapple turnover.
In the evening Fany, Laura and I had baleadas, which are my favorite. They are cheap and easy to make, so I figured it was perfect. Laura was feeling much better. She even had seconds for dinner.
Fany and I stayed up talking and laughing. Laura put herself to bed. When Fany went to check on her, Laura asked if it was tomorrow yet - Sunday was her birthday party. Fany told her no, but it will be tomorrow soon.
Sunday Laura finally got to celebrate her birthday. She was so patient, waiting since Wednesday to celebrate. The party was well worth the wait!
Laura decided on a Frozen theme. The little girls all wore princess costumes. Somehow Laura had enough for all of them. Fany made creative decorations from things she had around the house. Marshmallows are a big birthday treat here. Usually they are colored and in a big bowl. But Fany put them on a stick with a Frozen twist.
Today was my last day at work before I leave for the US. Everyone was so excited for me. They all gave me big hugs and said they can't wait until I get back. It was nice.
Here are some photos from over the weekend:
