Sabi's Birthday

Sabina turned 4 in September, and we were invited to her party, which was held downstairs in our building. Sabina's parents rented all sorts of play toys for the kids to play on. The party started at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. We were the first to arrive, so Luke and Sabi had the toys to themselves for a long time.

This adorable little girl is Carmen, and she loves playing swords with "Dee-yuke" (Luke).

Fisher and his family arrived soon after we did, so Luke and fisher quickly got crazy playing together. Carmen joined right in!
(They bumped their police cars together for about 30 minutes before they decided to do something different.)

This clown lady painted the kids' faces, made balloon animals, and helped with the pinata at the end of the party.


Luke and Fish both got their faces painted with balloons.




Laura had so much food prepared for the party. In Venezuela, all the kids' brothers and sisters and parents come to the parties, so there were quite a few people there, and Laura informed me that this was a "small" Venezuelan party! Wow!

We finally got to the pinata around 7 PM.




There's a chant that the kids say while they hit the pinata that basically means: hit it, hit it, knock it to the ground, we want candy!

It was a fun party, and it was great to see Luke interacting with all the other kids, even the ones who spoke only Spanish.
