it got bigger this year!!
With all that has gone on this year with health issues, we really didn't get involved with too many events. In fact, we cancelled our annual St Patrick's Day Party this year because Stef was just not feeling up to it, and I felt about the same.
HOWEVER...
On August 9, 2014
Stef recently finished her 6th and final Chemo treatment and started to feel much better. Today, was her Birthday, and it seemed appropriate that a celebration was in order. I sent out some invitations to some of our Atenas friends to meet at the Guanacaste Restaurant at 6:00 PM. Well, would you believe it, but about 40 friends decided to celebrate with us, and it was a grand time.
When we got there at about 6 PM, this is what it looked like.
Many had already arrived!
Now, there should be no need to remind you about our official Social Director.....The lovely and talented..... MERCEDES
And,
the delicious Chocolate Birthday Cakes she brought that are known all over Atenas to be the best cake one could ever put into their mouth. She brought 2 for this occasion in order to make sure everyone got to savor a taste of their delicious goodness.
This gives you only a small idea of all the happy faces that were there to help celebrate
After the meals were over, we started on the dessert with the help of Harold & Lisa. Here I am with Lisa and Mercedes (Harold was passing out pieces of cake to some demanding patrons)
And then, someone mentioned Tequila shots. Think it was Melani. Yep, here she is
This prompted our man Marco
to get more up on the bar
And, he never disappoints us
Stef was looking and feeling pretty happy at this time, and she deserved it

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE VERY SPECIAL WOMAN, AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
SHE WILL BE BACK AGAIN NEXT YEAR!!!!
