Birthday Bash

Yesterday Tamirat turned 3 years old. I figured that we should celebrate more than one child’s birthday so we did. We celebrated Tamirat’s 3rd birthday, Matthewos’ 3rd birthday, Helina’s 2nd birthday, Meskerem’s 1st birthday and Missaye’s 23rd (pronounced Miss-eye-eh) birthday. Each of them had their own cake with different colored frosting and unique decoration. We definitely surprised Missaye. Since they don’t know the actual date of their birthdays I figured that we could celebrate when ever. We sang Happy Birthday 5 times and they all got to blow out birthday candles (thank you Laura and Lindsey). Well, Meskerem didn’t know how so Hiwot helped her. We had blown up balloons - which the kids really liked – especially when they popped. It was the first time that Temesgen, Juju, Jurie, and Sena had ever had cake. The four birthday kids got little presents - which they really liked. I think we should do this once a month…there are plenty of people. So far we have celebrated at least one birthday for the last three months now.
