As with most things, celebrating birthdays here is generally a different than usual affair. Last year my friends, both local and expat, joined together to give me a surprise birthday party at a nearby coffee shop. So this year, we decided to have a typical American birthday party...not really for me, but just as an excuse to have friends over. It was really a lot of fun! The three of us all pitched in to make it feel quite homey and to prepare a plethora of delicious treats!
One friend that came even said, "I feel like I'm in America! It's just like the movies!"
Enjoy a look around our American birthday party!
You may recognize the table runner...it's the remaining fabric from the baby quilt we made for a friend, ya gotta love a dual purpose.

And a true behind the scenes look at what we like to call the "after party!" - hand washing piles of dishes!
YAY for birthdays, and YAY for good food! That is a dang good looking spread. And, hey, I didn't know Jordan was such the cake maker! I'm going to be looking for a big 'ol piece of good cake when she gets back here. hahahahahaha!!!!!
