Feliz Cumpleanos from Venezuela!

Ricardo's family went above and beyond this year for Alexander's birthday. They rented a huge house with a pool and lots of fun things to do for 2 whole days. All of his family came out to celebrate which included lots of eating, drinking, singing, dancing, game playing, and fun for everyone. Alexander's Godfather and Ricardo's best friend Carl and his fiance were in tow which was so great for everyone. We haven't seen most of them since the last time we went there which was 4 years ago. They are all so warm and welcoming that you just can't help but feel like one of them...even if your blond haired and blue eyed. :) Alexander's Madrina did all of the decorations, ordered the cake, and set it all up for him which was beyond amazing. The pinata was full size and the cake...it was gormet! Some of the decorations were hand made like the balloons and the posters. She did Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on everything! The kids had the best time. And, Ricardo's Abuela Mieta was there to celebrate with us which was really special for Ricardo. He loves her very much and we never know how long Mieta will be around since she's near 90 and is a bit fraile. She's just a sweety though and we're so thankful to have seen her on this trip!
