Getting the flowers for the table and the Volta bag is the ice cream to have with the cake! One thing I love about city living, everything is just a few blocks away, I ordered everything from within a few blocks of our home. |

I ordered a "picada" tray for 10 and it was a little more then I expected! Walking home with it down the street, everyone was looking at it going "Yuuummm, Que Rico! (How delicious) A que hora debo llegar en su casa? (What time should I arrive at your home?)" |

I don't like people to bring me presents, but Bruce gave me this "spinner" It really reflects the light when it spins. |
|

|
It's double sided with 3 colorful fish on each side. |
|
|
 |
|
Tom, Michael, Arnaldo and Tom's brother Louie visiting from Holland, I said, "Oh you can't be Tom's brother?" (they look identical) Like he hasn't heard THAT before! |
|

They made a nice dent in the picada tray! |

Every year Ron makes me a German Chocolate cake from scratch, it's my favorite and Ron makes it the best! |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
We set it up so guests could help themselves to either |
|||||||||
|
|
 |
|
Alberto decided he wanted both! |
|
|
 |
|
Michael brought masitas to have with coffee. Argentines have 2 desserts, first the primary one, then after you have coffee separetly with little sweets or "masitas" |

|||||||
 |
|||||||
|
I don't like my friends to bring presents, but sometimes I can't control them! Alberto brought me this beautiful burgundy tshirt. |
|||||||
|
|
 |
|
Diego gave me a gift and I asked, "Should I open it?" He said, "Of course!" "You bought me a Cuban cigar?" (I don't smoke cigars) and he said, "Open it!" |
|
|
 |
|
Inside ws a cigar shaped fragrance dispensor! It was a great scent. |
|
|
 |
|
The next day Lola was exhausted after the big party and spent most of the day sleeping it off. |
