Feliz Cumpleanos!

On July 7th, We had a birthday extravaganza at my house for Camilla and my birthdays. Camilla turned 29 on July 4th and I became the ripe old age of 24 on the 5th. Here's how our Spanish themed party went down.

These are the decorations, complete with pinata!


Colette, my flatmate, and I are ready to party. I think I dressed the part, don't you?



Charlie, me, and the finishing touch, my cigar.


The Birthday Girl and Me


Colette and Rachel are bringing out the magnificient cakes they made in honor of our births!


This is the New Zealand Silver Fern Leaf Cake, compliments to Colette.


And Rachel's oh so fun Octopus Cake.


Let the Salsa dancing begin.




Time for the Caipirinhas!! To keep with the theme we decided on this traditional Brazilian drink. To make them first you have to cut up limes.


Then clean the bucket the drinks will be served from!


Pour in the raw sugar and Cachaca, Brazilian sugar cane rum.


Then mix it all up.


Taste to ensure happy guests.


And serve!


Louise, Mullet Man, and Lozz


Hey Ladies!


Time for some Pinata beating!


She swings, HOMERUN!!!


Notice Colette's moustache. She was dressed as her alter ego, Fernando. Too bad there aren't any pics of the transformation. Along with post Fernando appear Camilla, Shelley, Diana, and Kristina.


Happy Birthday (in Spanish of course)


and then blowing out the candles.


with a little mishap, also known as the Ecuadorian tradition of biting the cake. Thanks Colette!


Here's the aftermath.



The third personality shows up. Her name is Nicole!


Charlie and Nicole


Time for the heals to hit the road.



Well, it was a great night. I was told it was the best party of the year. I hope you enjoyed it as well.
