Jaan's birthday

On Tuesday Jaan turned 16. He wanted to have his friends over and play computer games with them, but our electricity was off all day, so they went to a place where they could pay to play games. That means I don't have many photos. But then they came here for hamburgers that Will had made. We had a really nice dinner together.


Bogdan had to show Seryozha his bandura.


Then I brought out our attempt at ice cream cake, after a day without electricity. It turned out to be a melty volcano, but they liked it.



And presents!



It was a fun, simple day to celebrate someone who is really amazing.


(And we've been on this side of the world for 18 years. Jaan's birthday coincides with the anniversary of when we moved.)
