Black Friday

Hi all, Today is Friday and the cold in my sinus's has moved down to my throat so that I have no voice. I will give you the menu of what we had to eat for Thanksgiving here in Colombia and you can compare it to your feast. We had a green salad with green olives, green beans, raw onion, and hebenaro peppers and pickle slices with vinagrette dressing. We also had black beans and rice, mashed potatoes and dressing that the american ladies made, but no gravy. Pumkin custard with prunes that Yolanda made. Candied baked apples. and some kind of ham loaf thing although it may also have had poultry parts in it stuffed with eggs and black olives. For desert we had apple and banana cream pies and ice cream.

These are pictures of Sofie' s first birthday party which was on Wednesday. It was a big todo. George, pronounced Horhay, the dad is from Colombia although now they live in Porto Rico. Many of George's family came to the party. It was all done in Hello Kitty pink. This is Sofia.
This is Nora in her princess costume that she wore for Holloween. Her family is from Finland and have been in Colombia for 6 weeks already. They hope to get thier Sentencia today and then because they have no embassy in Colombia must wait another week and ahalf for the passport to be processed in Venesuala before they can leave. Felipe and Nora love to flirt and chase each other around.
This is the pinata, we didn't hit it with a stick though. It had a ribbon on the bottom that open a trap door and all the toys and candy fell out.
Everyday is a challenge to keep Felipe occupied, we do a lot of swinging and I usually end up pushing many of the children. Tata from Colombia for now I need to help Luke with some of his homework. Dwight and the boys
