Miki's 4th birthday was this past week and on Saturday we hosted her party here at our house. I have to be honest this had weighted heavily on my mind. We have not been here long, I was not sure she had made many friends and then would they want to come to her party - she had only been in school 2 weeks. But if you know Miki - she's great at making friends so we had a full house. We woke to quite a surprise Saturday morning - over a foot of snow: That happened in about 6 hours. Usually the snow does not slow people down here, but it was so much so fast we were very concerned no one would come to Miki's party. We were wrong! We had about 18 kids at the party - Thank God for Sasko and Ira - our believer friends for translating all the game instructions. We played musical chairs (to Strawberry Shortcake of course). Most of the kids liked it except one girl who was devestated she got knocked out. After that we played squash the strawberry - we tied balloons to the kids ankles and the tried to stomp them - great fun for our neighbors downstairs!The grand finale was the pinata - handmade by Jen - big hit for the kids. Quite a novelty in Serbia. We finished with presents and Strawberry Cake (homemade by Jen of course). It was a great day we met a lot of parents and look forward to growing those relationships.

Jen made a pinata? I don't know what to say. Wow! Is there anything you don't do Jen? Impressive!
Come to think of it. We went all out for Caleb's birthday too! We wraped his presents in plastic wal-mart type bags. Talk about impressive! Take that Jen! See if you can top that next year.
