We had a special Family Home Evening/Noche de Hogar on Monday. We invited our good friends, Marcela & Edwin along with
their two children, and the
Blanco's. We wanted to have
FHE with Edwin & Marcela, who are not members of our church, but we also wanted to celebrate 4 birthdays that took place in January. Marcela, Pat, Maria Blanco, and Edwin Jr. are all January babies. Pat made a nice lasagna dinner with salad and French bread.....
We sang Families Can Be Together Forever and
Hermano Blanco offered a nice blessing on the food.....
Edwin Jr. came a little late because he had
futbol (soccer) practice. One of the mothers of a child on his team dropped him off at our house so he could join in on the birthday fun.
Here is their oldest, Sophia, with Marcela. Sophia and Edwin Jr. have become Pat's "Costa
Rican grandchildren." They are very sweet kids! Marcela has a salon that is VERY popular in San Pablo. Pat took Sandi there to get a pedicure during the holidays and Marcela answered the phone multiple times and had to turn people away because she was overbooked. Anyway, she has not only become Pat's good friend, but her beautician. She does a great job!
Here is the birthday cake that
Hermana Blanco brought....
Then we all took turns blowing out the candles. Edwin Jr. was up first....
Then Marcela......
Here is
Marclea, Maria
Blanco, and Maria....
It was a very successful night and we are glad that we could spend time with these two great families!

I'm glad that you were able to celebrate with Marcela's family and the Blanco's. That was really fun going to her salon with you. I was surprised at how talented she was with all of her nail designs. Mine lasted a LONG time. Your lasagna looks delish!
