Yes! My mom would totally get me a fancy dress!

I have to admit that a lot of Jeremiah’s parties are like this because he and I (and you) have the same birthday… we usually start celebrating with all the kids activities early and end the night with “older” friends, drinking eating and even dancing! sometimes!

You brought me good memories. Surely I’m trying to keep those roots with my children. At parties works only if you have Venezuelan guests And remember the jello has to be 2 different colors! LOL

In Peru we do have piñatas at kid’s birthday parties, but we dont call the whole thing a Piñata. We actually call birthdays “santos”, I dont know if thats the case in other latinamerican countries. “Santo” is really the day of the saint you’re named after, which in places like Spain is even a more important celebration than your own birthday. I dont know why in Peru we ended up mixing the 2 and calling birthdays a “santo”. We serve lots of yummie traditional food too, like alfajores, and triples (avocado, egg and tomato sandwiches). And one thing ALL our countries have in common: everyone arrives late! :D Very annoying, I agree, but I guess if you can’t fight them, you have to join them.
