Birthday Cake Anyone?

By Kaylen on July 3, 2008

Birthday
It’s great to have something familiar to comfort yourself with when you’re so far from home. We all decided when we got here in January that we would celebrate everyone’s birthday, even if it meant their half-birthday. It’s one of those traditions that have been ingrained in us so long ago that it’s almost impossible to forget. Plus, it means cake and other yummy desserts, and who wants to pass those by?

We just recently celebrated Marc’s half-birthday with an amazing costume party. I’m not even close to exaggerating when I say amazing. We had to get creative because it’s not like we can buy costumes here, and some of the creativity astounded me! The Outreach Staff were invited as well, and some of them did wonders with the little that was in their suitcases.

Our amazing evening was speckled with delicious cake, fun dancing, and a costume contest judged by none other than Niel and Dave! The whole evening reminded me of home and how much I appreciate a good birthday party with good friends.

    Matt Moline was Indiana Jones, Kaylen was Frank Sinatra, Peirce was a Jester, Shannon was a fairy, Jody was Cindy Lou from the Grinch, Tjarks was a sub teacher, I was a truck driver, Crystal was me, and Katie Miller was a 80’s work-out girl. It was a blast!

    Too bad Peirce’s costume wasn’t the best at the noise-makers convention.

    shame.
