We celebrated Eliana's first birthday on Saturday with a traditional Bolivian birthday party, a saltenada (which means you serve saltenas, a Bolivian meat pastry, and cake midway through the morning). It wasn't a very big affair, but we invited the people who are important in Eliana's life - our Bolivian homestay family, members of the church, the team etc. It was a fun time of food, fellowship, and even a couple games of horseshoes (thanks again to the Chessers for bringing the equipment down, we sure have gotten good use out of it!). Here are some pictures from the day.

Yum. You made my mouth water when you mentioned saltenas. I wish I could have been there to help celebrate and eat the food. :) Happy Birthdday Eliana!
Happy Birthday, sweet Eliana. We can't wait to meet you! Love, Uncle Rusty, Aunt Laura, and Cousin Alex
Happy Birthday Eliana! You are such a sweetie. It looks like you guys had a great time. I love the pics of the preggies. I want to see more!:) Hannah sends her love to Eliana.
That was me on the last one by the way. I can't figure out how to change that from Drew's name and I thought it might look weird with him demanding more pics of the pregnant ladies:)
