Happy Birthday!

Hola!

It's been such an exciting weekend! On Saturday one of our kids from the Ventura family, the biggest family supported by the club, had a birthday! The Ventura household is home to Lola, the grandmother, and her 16 grandchildren. It's quite the fun place to be around! Lola loves having us come and visit so Jenny and Jencen bought ice cream for the children and came back to celebrate Leuri's birthday. They were so excited!

All the kids gathered around to get some of the "goods" and were so excited when we pulled out spoons and told them we had enough to go around! Lola went into the kitchen to get bowls and plates and the kids waited so patiently for Lueri to get his cup full of ice cream first, and then they started digging in right along with him! They loved the treat!



Everyone was so excited to be able to celebrate together and make that day so special for Leuri. Happy birthday, buddy!
