We celebrated Allie's 15th birthday on October 7th. She had a very exciting few days. We started the night before with a "Mexican Fiesta!" We had chicken enchiladas, soft tacos (with homemade tortillas), refried beans, Ro-Tel dip and homemade SALSA! We've been saving up our Ro-Tel and Velveeta for such a time as this. It was SOOO good.
Then, on her birthday, she had a sleepover with the older MK girls here. They began with making homemade pizza pockets then all the missionary families came over for cake and ice cream. We had delicious chocolate cake, a "gi-normous" chocolate chip cookie cake and ice cream. Yummm!
The girls watched a few movies later that night but I think they actually slept most of the night.
Allie got some really cool gifts -- mat for her bedroom floor, Ghana hat, pillow case with African design dyed onto it, African fabric for a dress, some lotion, bath gel and cologne, jewelry and cash!
Evan made her a one-of-a-kind-balloon-animal-baloon-sculpture. It's truly a work of art.
It's hard to believe she's already 15!! We've got 2 more birthdays to celebrate before we head back to the states. We'll send pictures!!
