Every year a group called Mission Fiesta comes to Guatemala and goes to several different orphanages and schools to host parties. They have been coming to Guatemala for about 15 years and started coming to our home when Chici and Victor took over 10 years ago.
Their purpose is to put on a big party in order to let the kids have the extras that they don't always get. Things like balloons and decorations, pizza (lots of pizza!), pop, ice cream, cake and crafts.
Decorating the house.

They also receive a birthday card with a small amount of money inside for each child. You should have heard the excitement level in the room when they opened their cards!
The big kids did a craft,
and the smaller kids colored pictures.
Then they ran off their energy outside with the group. They played with balls, played soccer, were pushed in swings and had a great time!
Then they had room in their stomachs to head back inside and eat more! Ice cream and a fantastic vanilla and strawberry cake were on the menu.
Noe. Too busy eating to smile. :)
Toni. Also too busy eating cake.
Spatz quietly snuck in and tried to be busy eating cake.
It was a fun Friday afternoon and the kids loved every minute of it. I have no doubt every member of the group had a great time as well!
Thanks again Mission Fiesta!!
