On Tuesday afternoon we attended the 5th birthday celebration of a little boy we know who lives in our town. In true Guatemala fashion we got a call around 2:00 that afternoon inviting us to the party. It started at 3:30. That is very normal around here although it drives me nuts. It was the second year for us to attend his party and it's always a lot of fun for the boys. Here are some photos I took while there-
some of the kids
Nery (the birthday boy) is in the middle
they played musical chairs
they had sack races
they had spoon races
and then they had a pinata. It's always the crowd favorite.
This is the reason my boys love birthday parties- candy, LOTS of candy!
Singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out his candle
A birthday tradition here is to smash the child's face in the cake. We have yet to adopt this tradition in our family.
Ben, Cruz, and Nery
sweet friends
