Happy Birthday Marvic

Friday was Marvic Zizer's 16th birthday and in his honor we threw the coolest darn birthday party he has probably ever had....okay, well probably not the coolest but definitely one, the likes of which he will never get again! :P We went to the local grocery store and found some really amazing 'happy birthday' masks. There were some really snazy hats and masks to choose from, but I think we made the best decision. Jeremy also found sparklers....that's right, not just for the 4th of July folks but for a good time in SL! Marvic said he liked chocolate cake and so Jeremy found a cake mix and frosting and we actually made a chocolate cake. I have to be honest and tell you that after 2 months without the indulgences of American food, it was the best chocolate cake we have ever had. We polished off the frosting on our fingers and spoons and the burnt parts of the cake that others threw away...we were out of control. (I think Marvic had a good time too!) The absolute highlight of the night was Jeremy's rendition of Happy Birthday on the recorder. It was a birthday party that will not be beat!! On a more serious note, Cami has a beautiful tradition when it is someones birthday to have everyone go around and say something that they appreciate about the person. I think it is fantastic and I hope to implement it when I get home. I mean, I kind of did that for Mary but I had people tell embarrassing things ALONG with things they loved...maybe we should have just done the things that we loved. :) We all went around and encouraged Marvic and then we prayed for him. All in all it was a really fun evening and Marvic said it made him feel wonderful....mission accomplished! Some pictures of this exciting and happening party on my bubble share link.
