We had the last of the kids birthdays for this year this week as Abby turned five. She celebrated her birthday in her class as well as with her friends from our team. In Tica fashion, we clebrated her birthday in her class with cupcakes, fruit, a pinata, and regalos (presents) from some of her classmates. Below is a picture of her class at the party and her teacher, Sra. Monica, who has been a wonderful help with Abby's adjustment to Costa Rica. She always welcomes Abby with a hug! Abby's class is taught completely in Spanish which has helped her to get a grasp on the language quickly.
We also had a party at our monthly team meeting since Abby's friends couldn't attend her class party. Here, the girls get their own table to eat at. Miranda and Alexa are 2 of Abby's friends that come to play quite often. Olivia enjoyed getting in on the action of the big girls and sits by herself now at the little table. Aidan helped Abby at the party by reading the cards for her, now that he is such a great reader!
Here is Abby showing us her pinata at her school, modeling a dress and jewelry sent by Grandma Rose, and catching a shot with Mom on her birthday. The parties were a success and despite the cake tipping over after we finished singing, it still tasted delicious!
