A 30th Birthday Party To Remember

My birthday morning was started off with delicious cinnamon rolls that Cody had made in the dutch oven.. yum yum!

Cody decorated a giant cake for me for the party and then also made a yummy chocolate cake for just us, after the party 

 Sri Lankan system cutting the cake yourself and feeding your closest relatives first 

 Cody and the girls working hard handing out cake 

I was so happy that two of my favorite Muslim families came over, which is rare for Muslims to go to other parties. Kavitha and Ishad above are my friends that I teach with at the preschool every week. And below is the family from Farzana's Restaurant that provided the food for the party (the family that we built their restaurant for after the tsunami).  

 Lots of dancing :)

 This is a new friend of mine. We have helped her a little bit financially with her daughter who has had a blood disease since she was a baby and has to travel to do transfusions once a month. She was sweet enough to make me a birthday cake 

 My ladies tea girls and my surf club boys

Cody sent me to go get henna Sri Lankan style for the party. It was fun to spend a couple of hours with one of my Muslim families tatting me up :) 

This is some of my newer friends Ruwanthi and Giva. Ruwanthi made me the red dress that I wore the second half of the party. These are Krishantha's  (surf club president) sisters.

Thanks Honey for a wonderful birthday party!!!!
