January 30- Nora's party with our English students

Today we celebrated Nora's birthday with some of our English students. It was a fun afternoon. Nora clung to me most of the time as she is shy in a big group of people like that and it takes her a little while to warm up. Afterwords we went out to eat with some of them and Nora became our little clown.
She does make us laugh!

All the girls playing with blocks. Naomi and Nora are making "cakes" with the blocks and Nadia is eating the cake.

I made brownies for this party. Indonesians can't handle our sweet treats, so brownies are good for them. However, it's still too sweet for some of them.

Getting the candle ready...

I tried to coach her to blow the candle but I think she was intimidated by all the people. After many attempts I asked Nora if she wanted me to help her blow the candle out. "Ya!" she said.

Everyone who came!
