Rebekah turned thirteen on Thursday. We baked vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting and she brought them to her class. They sang "Happy Birthday" in English, German and Czech as these nationalities are some that are represented in her class.


                         

Shahab loves sugar and proceeded to become extremely hyper after indulging in the cupcake

Rebekah turns 13

The next day was Rebekah's birthday party. She had all of her best friends attend. We went to her favourite indian restaurant and ate and ate and ate. We brought cupcakes to the restaurant (vanilla with chocolatepeanutbutter frosting) and then went to the square in České Budějovice and the girls sang "Happy Birthday" as loudly as possible in English, French, Indonesian and Farsi. They were bummed that we were taking them home already as it was only 8 o'clock, but as we arrived at the school (where three of them live) there was a disco going on for the students. So we all danced to House, Techno, Reggae etc...dj'ed by one of the teachers and one of the students (Armin, whom you have met before in the Arts Festival post). We danced and drank virgin cocktails until 10:30...what a great party for Rebekah!
