Here are pictures from my birthday party. Miles worked very hard to keep the theme (Latin Fiesta) a secret, and everyone brought a dish inspired by Latin America. We had some AWESOME food. Miles made grilled Caribbean Jerk Chicken and we had all sorts of amazing side dishes. Cory and the Patten's topped it all off with three different kinds of cupcakes (Cory) and blueberry cheesecake ice cream (Pattens). It was fabulous! The kids, as you can see in the pictures, had a lot of fun with the piñata. Jack tried his hand at the piñata, Halleigh was scared to death of it, and wouldn't even let me hit it. Anna Rose was the big winner, breaking the piñata open on her first swing.  Halleigh gave Simon his first kiss... you can see a cute picture of them here on Erin's blog.

A big thanks goes out to everyone who brought and participated in my birthday celebration; I really felt celebrated. You guys are great friends and family and I thank God that he brought you all into our lives. Living in Durham has been at times challenging, but you all really have made Durham feel like home for our family.
