Here are some pictures from before and during her visit:
These are from her last night with us when we had some friends over for dinner. I took several pictures of she and Sasha and am posting them all here so Mima can choose which ones she wants to copy:
Sasha playing with a neat toy given to her on her birthday: Pop Beads.
She can make all kinds of cool things with them:
Showing off her butterfly that we painted on at the children's museum:
Helping out in the kitchen:
Our friends Jane and Brad, and their grandson, Federico came over for dinner:
James made chicken roulades stuffed with spinach, basil, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes!
Sitting down for Mima's candle-lit birthday dinner. James made delicious meals every night. On this night he made broiled Arctic Char with tomatoes (which had been marinated in red wine vinegar and brown sugar), and a basil oil sauce spread on top, served with rice and salad!
Sasha gave Mima her room and slept in our room:
We took Mima out to dinner and then to the theatre for her birthday (on the night before her birthday).
Jane and Brad joined us, as well as another friend of my mom's, Michael. We had a lovely dinner and apparently it was an amazing Musical (called Wonderland).
On another day we had a picnic:
Sasha preferred to have one on the ground:
My mom had a typical Costa Rican dress made for Sasha. It was so beautiful!
Before Mima arrived, Sasha made her this birthday present: a woven picture frame!
These last few are from a trip to the zoo:
