The day after we arrived in Costa Rica, we celebrated Daniel's first birthday with Patri's family.

...Of course, I still don't understand why we have birthday parties for one-year olds...   what, like they're going to remember it??

Oh, and we almost burned the house down when the cake caught on fire! Strange but true...

Aryel and his cousins were very happy to see each other...

Patri with her parents and her brother Edgar...

Patri made a makeshift baby bath in the laundry room...
