Mer's Birthday! (Jan 16)

Mer had school in the morning, but we were ready to go when she got home at 11:30! We made a trip to the Bazaar for food for her party, and it was overwhelming! Hundreds of vendors selling everything imaginable!

Once we got home, the rest of the day was spent preparing for the party. Jen made 2 batches of brownies and her first ever apple pie!! (All this with having to taste to see if an ingredient was salt or sugar, and no rolling pin!) Andrew and Mer worked on maintenance and cleaning.



Mer was still at her closet picking out what to wear when her first guest arrived!! When it was all said and done, there were 22 people in her apartment, in which the main room was about 10x15 feet!! It was great to meet her friends, most of whom were international and the easiest way to communicate was in Russian, which was their 2nd, 3rd, or 5th language!!
