Jaqui had two parties (what is it about Libras ... we can't have just ONE party?!) On her actual birthday (Oct 9th) we took her dancing in Bethesda where we had a blast until waaaay too late on a work night. And then the next night her family came to the MV house for cake, potato soup (of course!) and present opening. We didn't know it was a Peruvian tradition to smear the birthday person with cake, but we found out when Jaqui's extremely polite and sweet grandma grabbed a fingerful of frosting and smeared it all over Jaqui. You can see how much fun her grandma had (below). Jaqui had less fun with the tradition, especially when the frosting got under her contacts. Ouch!
Jaqui, Jaylin, Jaqui's cousin Milu and her baby Talia eating potato soup. Grandpa Oscar and Jocie are in the background. Jaylin (who might be made out of potatoes her mommy and daddy love them so much) likes potato soup too.

Cathy (Jaqui's sister), Milu, Jaqui and Deb at Sacos ... one of my favorite things about Jaqui is that she teaches me to dance ... what do you think Jaqui, it's only been what 5 or 6 years of lessons. Am i getting any closer :-)

Happy birthday Jaqui, keep up with the dance instruction someone from her family should learn to dance.
Happy Birthday Jaqui! It's fun seeing you on the Blog but I wish we had been there to watch you blow out your candles. We love you Jayson and little Jaylin very much!
