CHRISTMAS PARTY TIME

Just as the people from Phizer started arriving I had to take cookies to Sinildas school since her school party was today. By the time I got back face painting had started. This is Estefani. This party, which they give every year , is especially nice as each girl is invited to write a letter asking for three different things and also what she she would choose to ear from Pizza to MacDonalds.
Here is Dona showing off her face painting. The wite ribbon around the banister is a leftover from the 15th birthday party.
Daliana, Dona's sister.
There were lots of traditional Panamanian Party games with loud music and a lot of yelling and screaming. Santa was there and you can see the Clown in the background. The people from Phizer bring their own children. A few years ago one of the children had such fun that she asked to have her birthday party at the home instead of McDonalds and we did.
Slight blurry photo of the girls eating. For all of our staff and the staff and kids of Phizer we had a turkey and ham dinner with a delicious salad and special rice and semi-traditional potato salad.
I say semi-traditional because what I think of as traditional potato salad here is rosy pink with beets.
