Today is my birthday! I am six year’s old! I woke up in good spirits and the house was bustling with preparations. I slept in a little late then just when my mom was going to bathe me and get me ready for Maria Jose I began to have a severe case of the hicups. This has happened last year as well on my birthday. Next thing you know I was full of phelgm and on O2. Maria showed thinking it was time to do my hair but instead she took over respiratory therapy. I coughed a bunch of times and the next thing you know I was off O2 and getting showered and ready for my party!
Everyone showed up an hour late as Costa Rica was playing Uruguay in the World Cup! It was okay though that gave my dad plenty of time to fry the fish for our fish tacos that day! The first thing planned was dragon bag decorating. Maria Jose made all the bags for my friends and I to decorate for our gift bags! After that we had Felipe a friend and magician do a magic show for us all. Felipe did a great job! He had everyone paying full attention to his tricks! 🙂 After that I was able to take my first swing ever with the help of Maria at my dragon pinata! It was fun and everyone was cheering me on!!! My friend Sade was the one who took the dragon down and candy was spilled everywhere for all the kids! After the pinata we were off to pin the tail on the dragon and take pictures in our portrait made dragon and princess photo opp! Thanks Lourdes and Irene for making such a cool thing for my party! 🙂
Towards the end of the party my good friends, Sarah, Rachid, Gemma, and Sade played a mini concert for me. They play the violin and chello and it was just awesome! My favorite part of the day was listening to them play. They played five songs for me and did a great job. Many kids rode the two horses I ride. I did not ride that day I was a bit tired but I had fun watching everyone else.
My friend Sahil came all the way from La Fortuna to see me at my party! He gave me the coolest gift it was all sensory gifts! He knew that would be the perfect thing for me. I was so pooped by the end of the day that I blew out my candles and decided to wait until the next morning to open gifts with my dad. It was a great party I am so loved and feel so blessed to be so special. Thanks to all who came and particpated in celebrating my day.
