A Popular Month for a Birthday

Last year we didn't know when Yaneli's birthday was, as she wasn't registered and didn't have a birth certificate. We still don't have one, but at least know her birth date now. (Please pray that her mom would be inspired to register her as her schooling can't count until she is registered.) Yaneli had two days of birthday as she was convinced her birthday was the 20th and told everyone on Monday that they needed to tell her "Happy Birthday." We didn't have anything ready on Monday, so we celebrated on Tuesday, which she later conceded that it must be her birthday.


All she wanted for her birthday was SpongeBob pajamas and a set of bunny ears. Thanks to Target, this was made possible.


She then proceeded to jump all over the dorm. :)


Before bed, the girls wanted to pose with the little bunny.

Other Birthdays


Bill and Angel both had birthdays on August 15th. Bill was a little resistant to his head being shoved in the cake...but obviously the kids won. :)


Bill tries to share his birthday cake with Joan.


Angel celebrates his birthday with a beautiful dinosaur cake and a Chewbacca figurine.


Uriel wants to be a pilot and that worked perfectly with the package I received from the Earney's, brimming with posters, t-shirts and airplane items.


A few of the staffers went to Alma's Birthday party in Imuris.

We just found out that we missed Poncho's birthday (another case of registry confusion) so we are celebrating his on Thursday. The kids love birthdays, everyone gets cake and gets to dream about what they want when theirs rolls around.
