Happy Birthday - Mexican Style

Saturday afternoon, Micah attended a birthday party for Brayon (Brian), the 10 year old son of Jon's coworker Susi. By the end of the evening, there were approx. 60 people in attendance, with about 20 children.


The host family!


Susi worked very hard in preparing the meal. The food was great! Jalopenos stuffed with chicken were the best. Boiled shrimp, chicken wings, a vegetable salad, with sliced radishes and cucumbers. To die for Pico de Gallo and salsa. The birthday cake was a Mexican speciality, a wonderful three leche (milk) cake with peaches.


Thankfully most of the people there could speak enough English to answer my questions about where they were from, where they worked and how long they had been in the states and other basic get to know you questions about family, ages etc.

The party was great fun. Lots of laughter and smiles and great food. We were there for about 4 hours. The pinatas were huge and stuffed with candy. The children and adults had great fun swinging and missing!



The birthday boy! Brayon requested the suit for his birthday! He is a delightful young boy.
