Happy Birthday Dennis!

Today we celebrated Dennis' birthday. We had a really fun evening. We had a yummy chocolate cake, soda with dinner (a rare treat) and a lot of laughter. Just after blowing out his candles, Margaret poured soda on his head followed by others dousing him with water. Apparently that is the tradition here. I'm glad I'll be in Nairobi on my birthday! Then he opened his gifts. He got a Grits CD, a book on faith and a couple items from our local market to enhance his rapper appearance: a beanie with hair attached and sunglasses. Then we took some funny pictures and ended the evening by watching Hairspray. It was a really cool night and fun to celebrate Dennis' birthday with the Tonj family we have formed.
