Party!

We had a small party today to celebrate Diego's second birthday. You can ask him in either language now "how old are you" "cuantos años tienes" and he will respond (with the approprate langauge in return) "two!" "dos!". He's so smart. We had a nice afternoon, with a few friends and their toddlers. We had a gift exchange rather than traidition 'gift giving' which was a big success and served to clean out everyone's house a little bit. We kept a few nice things and the rest is going to the Salvation Army - plus everyone went home with at least one new toy. I made a gluten free cake which turned out well and Diego, more or less, managed to blow out his own candles.

Our birthday present to Deigo was this ball tent. Folds up small when you don't need it and fits nicely into the new playroom when we do.

It was also a big hit at the party.
