BDay: The End of Year 2

gotta get it clean.
 a living room set to seat 20 adults.

an early bday gift
once again eleftheria killed it. my mother in law added meat balls, her signature homemade pizza and mini cheese pies.
the kids room ready for 10 kids
the bday girl herself
the spread
blowing out the cake. greek and english versions were entertained.

we had a pinata which was brought down by a light saber
and eleftheria made this amazing thing called a "punch box". it is full of holes, each filled with a plastic cup holding a little stuffed animal. the top of each cup was covered with tissue paper. as the kids left the house, each punched through a cover to grab a surprise toy. super awesome.
we saw a new cartoon with penguins, rubber ducks and a boat. sounds random, but it does cover 3 of her to 10 favorite things in the world.

it was a wonderful bday party, and while we were stressed in the run up, and are a bit tired now, it was well worth the energy spent.

we are so looking forward to being in the states for christmas, and can't wait to see everyone. have a great week.
