Argentina – Celebrating Valentino’s 5th Birthday..!

We were lucky to be in town to celebrate Valentino’s birthday.   I still remember when I found out that Soledad was pregnant with Valentino and the phone call when she was still in the hospital after he was born.  It is crazy how quickly time has passed… I even made a special trip to Argentina to meet him and to attend Soledad and Maxi’s wedding.  Valentino is definitely a very special boy… with a heart for Christ. 

Celebrating his birthday was an all day ordeal.  They made him a special breakfast in bed and then came over to the house for lunch with everyone… which consisted of homemade empanadas, pizza and chorizo.  After lunch we headed to the church for the children’s program where they also had a small party in his honor.

It was a long day so by the evening I decided to take a nap.  Unfortunately by the time I woke up everyone had left for the church and I didn't have any way to get there so I stayed back at the house and visited with those who weren't going.
