We were excited to host Mission Fiesta again this year. They come every year and put on huge birthday parties for around 11 children's homes and about 4 schools. They brought us pizza, pop (or soda for those of you who don't know pop), popsicles, and yummy, yummy cake from my favorite bakery in Antigua, Cenicienta.
Hazel, Janet and Orellana getting the pizza out to the masses.
Marina and Dan getting the pop ready.
Ben helping to serve the pop.
"Celebrating Life with Mission: Party"
This is either Chici teaching Victor a lesson, or Chici teaching the kids how NOT to play in the house. ;)
Noe is pretty excited with his big pieces of pizza.
I didn't get any pictures of the kids eating as I was too busy eating my own pizza. :) After the food, they decorated Christmas cards that Gary had designed for us. This was a huge blessing for us as I am not a great decorator and we can use this template for our sponsors.
Busy coloring.
Daniel is pretty focused on doing a good job.
Antoni is pretty focused as well. Do you see his fabulous head of hair? When he arrived over a year and a half ago, his hair was very, very thin and discolored because of his chronic malnutrition. I love looking at his hair.

Dan and Marina handing out the birthday cards to each child. They get one every year with some money inside.
Valeriano was pretty excited to get his money. He is new with us, so he had not received money before. (Sorry, I couldn't seem to flip the picture)
Then... the cake!
And popsicles. I was trying to get a picture of all the different colors of popsicles, but it didn't really work.
Then it was time to play!
The inevitable soccer game!
I'm so glad it didn't rain on us! But the clouds were pretty.
We loved having Mission Fiesta with us. It is something the kids look forward to every year. Thanks Mission Fiesta!!!!!
