....so today is my birthday and I am finding that in kenya it isn't celebrated in the same ways as in the US. My family is still holding onto some traditions like giving gifts (a happy birthday poster and a rugby ball), special meals (I had B-cinnamon rolls, L-kenyan food, and D-Mummies hamburgers) and pie. In kenya, some people who have known expats seem to expect that I would be doing a lot more. What more they were expecting I don't know...but something more.
I will say that I did tell the kids that I wanted something special from each of them.
from e I wanted her to read me a book (she read two)
from J I wanted to play a game of skip-bo (we have played two so far)
from M I just wanted cuddles
...so far I have gotten more than I asked for...what a great family. What a great birthday!
Sounds like you had a great day celebrating with your children and wife; a few good books and games, cuddles and good food, what more could one want! Praying God will richly bless you in the coming year! Love you all!
