My host mother's birthday!

Monday, April 22nd was my host mother's birthday. She celebrated by going into Managua for lunch with her sister-in-law and one of her daughters. One of her other daughters surprised her with a queque (cake)!

I live with an 18 month old and she decided to stick her hand in the cake before we lit a makeshift candle and sang their version of happy birthday. Each person received a piece of cake and a cup of Fanta orange soda. I felt honored to be able to share in her special day!
