A's Birthday

C has been working hard to save up money to be able to celebrate her son's third birthday.  Culturally, birthday parties are a big deal and involve a meal, cake, a piñata, and candy bags for each child... not a small affair.  It was a time for C to be able to invite her family and her mom's neighbors to celebrate with her her son's life.

We all gathered at her mom's house, where C lived up until coming to PDE.  One thing that really impacted me is that C invited Y and K who have never lived at PDE with her.  They still spend time with their PDE family and she has quickly come to realize that they are sisters because this is a family, whether she has ever lived with them or not.  And I love that :)

The kids all had a great time and A was terrified of the candle on his cake!
