The Talens' Tales

 Mataya had a great 6th birthday last week. She designed her cake and I executed her ideas as best I could. Mataya asked for a heart on her cake with smaller hearts on the side and light blue writing. She got lots of lovely gifts this year and has been enjoying all of them! Tante Reina came by on the day before her birthday and had some fun gifts for Mataya as well.

I love my people and they did a great job showing their love to me on Sunday.  Breakfast in bed. I forgot to take a picture until I was mostly finished with my cereal. Gifts that were made in school and my requests of a new cookbook and mesh produce bags. And Mataya also did a little questionnaire and drew a picture of me at school. It is pretty fantastic!

We had a lovely time celebrating Gideon's birthday. This year was the year for a farm cake. He is three! But, he couldn't quite figure out how to hold up three fingers.  But, we have candle blowing figured out!  Opa, Oma and Tante Reina came for cake after school on Friday. Gideon opened his gifts and everyone had fun playing with them.  He got a new swim suit and insisted on wearing it for most of the day. We are all ready for summer here!
