celebrated Colombian birthdays— early and late--

Patt wanted a party, and the kids like 'em so Raleigh's belated 5th and Clinton's early 2nd was celebrated last night.  

sampling the cake 

 The lighting of the torch, well candles actually but due to iPhone proximity to a source of light in a room with irregular lighting gave the five candles plus Clinton's two, quite the torch like hue.

a huffing and puffing 

we did this more than once

and enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Oh, the gifts were hot wheels cars - well duh -  you have to have at least one gift they will like

and a brace of nerf guns.  They were a huge hit.  Already losing the bullets.  But not to worry we brought extras.
