Happy Birthday Kelton

Febuary 1, Kelton celebrated his 2nd birthday. We had a grand party in the Party Room of our apartment building. It was a mixture of American and Brazilian birthday traditions. The theme was Dinousaur. During which we had a dinosaur egg hunt, colored dinosaur pictures, drank dinosaur kool-aid, had a dinosaur roaring contest and learned the dinosaur stomp. It was quite a different party for our Brazilian friends, especially the games and food.

Our team of course was present to celbrate with us, as well as some friends from the Bonoco Church of Christ and many of our neighbors and other new Brazilian friends. Our family was especially blessed because Randy's parents, Paige and John Porter, got to be here as well. We loved getting to introduce them to the people they have been hearing about for the last year.

It was a wonderful time, full of opprotunites to talk and share with our Brazilia friends. We are so grateful for our precious, growing, energetic, jumping, climbing, special boy. And for those of you who were worried...he still has his red hair.

Below are pictures of the kids (and adults) doing the dinosaur stomp, Kelton with his grandparents, Kelton with our French friend that lives in our building and Kelton with Mom and Dad. I don't know if Kelton realized the party was for him, but he sure had a good time!
