Bella is the Princess of the Day! Our youngest daughter turns 15 today. Here in Brazil 15 is a Big Birthday. Often those who can celebrate with extravagant celebrations that appear very similar to a wedding party as far as decorating, gifts, and guests. Bella wanted a small party, with a few friends. And the girls had a very nice evening last night. Tomato soup and home made bread sticks. Tea and sandwiches. A movie called The Croods. Topped off with a chocolate fountain! It was a first for everyone, I think, and everything went very well. Thank you Heavenly Father, for Bella, and for the nice evening.

Emma, Luana, Aline, Carol, Karin, Bruna, and Bella

Celebrating Bella!

Thaís, Barbara, and Anna came just a little later.

Eliel came to pick up Aline just as the chocolate fountain got started.

Fruit shishkabobs. Deanna found some strawberries, kiwi fruit, and grapes. The pineapples were small, but they were 7 for R$10, about $5 Canadian.

A chocolate fountain!

The tester.

A very small birthday cake.

Fancy sandwiches with fancy toothpicks.

Delicious sandwiches, to go with the tomato soup and breadsticks.
