Birthdays at Casa de Amor

Birthdays are always fun and special for the kids at CDA. Since I've been here, there have been 2 birthdays. One was for M of House 2 (7 years), and the other was for R of House 1 (2 years).

For M's birthday, the volunteers took all the kids from House 2, plus 1 kid from House 1 and another from House 3 (a total of 14 kids), BOWLING! It was a surprise for all the kids, so when we pulled up to the bowling alley it was pretty exciting. We all had a lot of fun, even though by the end we were exhausted and ready to leave!

We started our party with cake, which the birthday boy helped make and decorate!

Everyone wanted a piece of the bowling action!

Even when it wasn't their turn, the rest of the kids were kept entertained by balloons!


R's 2nd birthday was a little more low key, but we still made sure he felt special on his day. After dinner that night, we had a cake party at House 1!

Super cute "roly poly" cake, made by volunteer Savannah




He couldn't wait for a piece!


This birthday boy loves his cake!
