This year Karis did not have a huge birthday event. Rather, she had several events celebrating her life over a week.
The first was the night of our Texas Independence Day celebration (pictured in a blog below). And this is of the REAL birthday day as she called it. We took cupcakes to school for her to share with her friends. Homemade cupcakes and with Duncan Hines frosting out of a tub that we found while in Nairobi. Can't get much better than that!!
Her class was sitting patiently for Karis to blow out her candles! I wish you could hear them singing in the 2nd language of Uga-lish. (Ugandan English).
Misti's brother and sister-in-law sent these ice cream sandwich molds. Never mind they didn't make it for Christmas. They were wonderful to add to any day, and it happened to be the week of Karis's birthday. So we added that to the list of her celebrations! =)I honestly would likely pass this kit by if I lived in the States. But it was so much fun, and SOOO good! Here are our cookies that we cut out and then pushed the molds into to make the faces while the cookies were still warm.
Sophia wanted to also show you the picture she was working on (in between bites of warm cookie off the cookie sheet!)
Uncle Troy & Aunt Jen: Great find! These were a huge hit and the girls can't wait to make them again!
And. last but not least:
Here is the Jungle Cake Karis had requested. Because we have no ACC (artificial climate control: ie air conditioning) the Duncan Hines prized frosting on this triple layer butter cake ran down the sides, along with lots of the decorations.
But, no one seemed to mind.
This day was also Jana's REAL birthday day. We were excited to share in celebration of her life and her being here in Uganda.
