Becky's birthday is December 25th, but we have made a tradition of celebrating it on Christmas Eve. In the afternoon, a Zambian girlfriend from church came over to play, which was a nice treat. It was good that Becky had some girly time, because the evening was full of boys!
We went to the Washer's home for Becky's birthday supper and celebration along with Auntie Rachel's birthday. Her's is on the 24th. The Washers have four boys so combined with Becky's two brothers, she was rather outnumbered. She holds her ground well, though and enjoys the fun.
After a delicious meal, the kids played a romping game of balloon stomp. Then they each had a turn at hitting a pinata. Unfortunately, Uncle Nathan was mistaken for the pinata by Caleb. He wasn't hurt as badly as his expression suggests.
Becky enjoyed opening up some gifts from her friends. The second picture was taken when the power went off and all the children (full of cake, ice cream and sodas) screamed! You can almost hear them just by looking at the picture! Thankfully, the power came back on after only a minute or two.
The evening came to a close with the children calming down with a Christmas movie and the adults playing games. It was a great evening and we just might make this a tradition too.ps-Becky has another birthday pal here too - Auntie Toni Hafler's birthday is on the 25th as well. We spent Christmas evening with her!
