Yesterday was another great day for our family, Nehemiah turned 5! And now the question of the day is about when he gets to go to school. Always in a rush to grow up. One of the biggest thrills for him was to be told happy birthday in Spanish. On Sunday night the church sang happy birthday to him in English.
A few years ago we started a tradition with our children, on their birthday they get to pick the restaurant and Scott and I take the birthday child out for a birthday dinner. Since the majority of restaurants here don't open for dinner until after 9 PM it isn't feasible to make little ones wait that long so we slightly modified the "dinner" routine into a birthday lunch. Nehemiah picked La Pasiva and he had a bacon wrapped hot dog. Of course we don't have fast food, Mexican, Chinese or seafood restaurants here in Colonia so our choices are limited but the food is great.
After lunch Nehemiah joined us for our language class. He certainly added a new dimension to learning a new verb conjugation. He did great though and even showed off a little of his Spanish. After class we had a little party for him and he opened his presents. He went to bed a very satisfied new five year old.

Have you guys enjoyed chivitos yet?? Those are my favorite!!!
Happy birthday Nehemiah!!! Its hard to belive 5 years have passed so quickly. - Your big bro Swaff
Sandy,
We have definitely tried the Chivitos and they are great. Although I think I like the jamon y pollo at El Porton parillada even more. Yum.
Hey Swaff,
I still remember the mission trip with Nehemiah when he was just six weeks old.
Hope everything is good with you all.
