June 27, 2016... Happy 40th Birthday
In Uganda, all day long on your birthday, people call you "Baby" and baptize you with water.
I was able to get most of the way throughout the day without getting wet... until the cake cutting ceremony at the party.
I decided to throw a big birthday bash and I was blessed by a great crowd of friends, colleagues, neighbours, church friends and more.
The first of two baptisms
The food table was a hit
Standing in line
Choosing treats that came "40" in number
Dancing
Eating
Playing a game... I wrapped a small gift in layers and layers of newspaper, and then had a fun game of "Musical Unwrapping". When the music stopped, a participant had to put on a pair of oven mitts and use two forks to rip through the tape and paper. Super fun!!
I also had people filling in a personal quiz about me throughout the night. 40 questions to see how much my friends knew about me.
I have a feeling many people learned even more things about me when I revealed the answers.
Peter won!
