Happy birthday!

Is this a friendly-looking bunch or what?
My birthday is actually on December 26, but this group of MCC friends were kind enough to throw a birthday party for me in the first days of January, once we’d all returned from Christmas vacation. We talked, laughed together, and stuffed ourselves with grilled sausages, rice with milk and cheese, carrot and green bean salad, pineapple juice and soft drinks, and a surprise birthday cake with a single lit candle. (Thank goodness they didn’t try to crowd in the number of candles corresponding to my age!)

Thank you, gracias, to my friends at MCC for remembering and celebrating with me.

Happy birthday, Anita. We are so glad you have made such good friends in Santa Cruz.
Love, Mom
Hi Anita,
Happy Birthday. Facebook has pretty much killed my blogging career.
I hope that this note finds you well. We are doing good. Jo is just about to turn 5 and Sim just turned 3. I passed my Spanish for Reading exams and someday would like to be able to do more than just read a liberation theologian with a dictionary....
Best,
J

Who took the picture? Photography by Saul?
Dad
No, the photographer was a friend named Alden. Saúl arrived a bit later. :-)
Hello my dear roomie!
I'm glad your birthday was recognized as it should be. Wish I could have been there. If you ever start feeling old, just remember you'll always be younger than me :)
Anita...
Hope their all done with the violence there, and Bolivia can move in a peaceful direction.
