Andee's Birthday!

Our first day back to classes after our 2 weeks off...was hectic. I had class from 8 to 10. Then, had language helping from 10 to 12. Quick had lunch before Brian headed off to class from 1 to 3. Then, had to make a dessert for a meeting that we were going to have @ our house later in the evening. Then, I needed to take Asia to a party. When we got home for the party we had about 45 minutes to get the kiddos to bed before our meeting.(I'll try to do a post about the meeting too if I have time!) Anyway, Monday Asia was invited to the birthday party of one of her closest Filipino friends. They have played together since we moved here. She got an invitation that said it was starting @ 4pm. But I asked my Filipino friend and she said not to go until 4:30. So, we went @ 4:30 and we were the 2nd people there. :) We waited a 1/2 hour for more people to show up before the party started. The invitation also just said Asia...so, I left the boys & Skye @ home...but of course, when we got there...they were like...where are the boys? So, I had to text Brian to bring the other kiddos. :) Anyway...Asia had a blast...but she does LOVE parties! :) Here they are checking out one of Andee's new toys. Filipinos don't normally open gifts @ the party...but apparently, if the child begs enough...they get to open one! :)

Trying to feed the kiddos spaghetti and fried chicken...while they were running around...without making a huge mess! That didn't really work very well for me! :)

The birthday cake and some of the food! The black dish on the right is something called dinuguan...is made with pork blood...and normally, the insides(intestines,etc)...but this one was made with regular meat...but still with the blood. :) Yummo!

Brian's turn...this time with cake and ice cream! :)

A fun time was had by all! :)
