May and Shingos' Birthdays...

Our dear friend May recently celebrated her birthday at the beach. Her hubbie Martijn organized a surprise b-b-q party for her. A lot of friends came, and even her sister Shirin, who used to serve here a few years ago, was visiting from South Africa. We had a great evening, and OH, the food was delicious!

The three sisters, Yas, May and Shirin...
Dutch - Brazilian connection with Kirsten, Ana-Gerda, and Melissa... (remember, this is right after the World Cup, where both Holland and Brazil were untimely eliminated...)

Another dear friend, Shingo, also celebrated his birthday in STYLE with an afternoon full of games, thanks to Amelia! Friends and family came over to enjoy the day with him. We had a great time!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAY AND SHINGO. Hope we will enjoy many more birthdays with you guys!

Rocco is about to wreck what Amelia had so carefully constructed...
