Birthday Surprise (Joshua)

It tasted really good

Well, I never thought I would spend a birthday in Brazil but I'm pretty glad I did. For lunch they cooked the usual special Sunday meal that they make; usually pork and rice, some pastries and such. But then for my birthday Jocieli made a cake with my name on it. Everybody sang some version of happy birthday and they clapped, I blew out the candles, and then we ate, after I had taken the first bite. Then Mary brought out three wrapped gifts. I opened them:  a calendar, a shirt, and a hat. That was a really nice thing to get. I was not expecting to get any gifts from anyone. Patrick and Telissa also got me a chocolate bar. So then after I was finishing up my cake I was all of sudden grabbed out of my chair by Kevin and Andy and dragged outside being hung unto by my legs and arms. Then, much to my surprise three eggs came whack smashing into my head and handfuls of flour were thrown all over me from Steven and Amanda, quickly followed by me being thrown into the pool! That was quite the birthday tradition if you ask me.
