Birthdays might be an even bigger deal here than at home, at least we do everything we can to help them be. Yesterday we had the opportunity to celebrate Craig's birthday and we didn't hold back. We began with some guy time at the Varner's where football and tavla were the main activities. Unfortunately, Craig's team was hampered by the 100 degree heat and struggled in the second half, whereas Harrison, Tom and myself were able to replenish at halftime with some H2O and managed to pull out the win. After games with the Varner's we brought the party to our balcony where the girls had already decorated for the celebration with confetti, masks, leis, party hats and everyone's favorite, sparklers! We grilled hamburgers (lamb-burgers were outlawed this time) and ate plenty of french fries and salsa. We concluded the party with two episodes of 24, with a break in the middle for some incredible birthday cake. It was a lot of fun and Craig got plenty of good birthday presents, including my favorite, soccerball soap-on-a-rope.
