Costa Rican Birthday Party


We were very happy that our whole family was invited to a birthday for a tica (the term that Costa Rican’s use for their nationality). It was for the daughter of one of my first trimester teachers who is about the same age as Abigail. It was a delightful afternoon and fun to see how ticos celebrate birthdays – pretty much the same way we do, except that there is ALWAYS a piñata. And they do work it out that the birthday girl gets to crack it open. There were quite a few games, including pin the tail on the donkey, and some more that I hadn’t seen before – all very cute. Abigail has since gone to another tica party – this time a slumber party for another 2nd grade student at school. She had a good time and of course, enjoyed bringing home candy from the piñata!
