~Kimberly and Noah's fun birthday supper~

Thank you for all your sweet birthday wishes!!
We planned Kimberly and Noah's birthday supper earlier in the week so that Uncle Charlie and Aunt Jolie could come.  As you recall we had had a "high tea" party the day before...so we were RUNNING to get everything done for this birthday party.  Jesus helped us and we had a very nice evening together.  (But the next day I was so weary that I stayed in my gown and took a long nap. =)
~Since we were going to make a cake for Noah, Kimberly wanted a Bumbleberry pie.  She ended up making 2.  (Sarah did the lattice top on the pie on the right. =)  The pies were delicious.  (I linked to the recipe for a Bumbleberry pie in case you want to try it...for FUN FOOD FRIDAY! =)~

~Kimberly planned and set up her table.  I thought it turned out really cute.  She had "finished the table" and moved on to finish Noah's cake.  I was taking pictures when I realized that she had forgotten the glasses.  So, out of habit I went and got the goblets and put them on...and took pics of the table...then later realized that we had purchased other red cups to use.  So, the 3rd picture of the table is the "finished look".~

~I thought her idea for the newspaper runner was clever.  And I liked the ribbon tied around the plate and silverware.  The 2 napkins were fun too.=)~

~Kimberly did a great job making a pretty table!~

~We were RACING the whole day to get everything done.  One time consuming thing was that we didn't have any cake pans.  So, we had to bake 4 layers of cakes in our 2 pie plates, then pop out the cakes and start on the pies.
Right before U. Charlie and A. Jolie walked in the door I found the bag of balloons that we had forgotten to blow up for Noah's table. =(  I felt sooo badly for him.  So, when U. Charlie got there I asked Noah to ask U. Charlie to help him blow up 4 or so balloons for his table. =) Nothing like putting your company to work. ;-)  U. Charlie and A. Jolie are sooo GOOD with kids... Our kids LOVE them!~

~Noah's Lightening McQueen #8 Race track Cake that Kimberly made (With a little behind the scenes help. =)  We RAN OUT OF TIME to put the white lines on the race track...for when they rang our door bell, Kimberly and I dashed to change clothes and she to fix her hair. =)

~Noah and Elijah's table.  (U. Charlie and A. Jolie got Noah this little t-shirt that says "Argentina" on it...so he asked if he could change into it for the evening.  It was HOT in our house due to one AC not working, it being near 100 degrees outside and all of our baking.)
A. Jolie made and brought this yummy fruit salad. =)~

~They each had a neat "firework candle" that we brought from Colombia. (But we've found them here in Argentina as well.)~

~So fun~

~Kimberly's menu request was simply "Skyline!"   We wouldn't have had time to make any other more complicated menu. =)~

~Our kids Love A. Jolie and her fun phone. =)~

~U. Charlie told us a touching story of how his parents came to know Christ through an accident that he had when he was younger!!  His parents are the ones who started the Chinese church here!~

 We had a very special evening! We took the kids out for a fun evening tonight.  I'll post pics later.  Kimberly and Noah have had a good "birthday week!" =)
