Happy 65th Birthday Deda!

                              
Custom Glitter Text
Two nights ago, my grandpa (deda), turned 65 and had an amazing birthday bash!  I love my deda with all of my heart and wished him the best birthday ever! 




This is a photograph of my wonderful deda at his birthday party.  It was so fun because you could dance, make speeches, and we had the best Russian food! 



Here is my amazing grandma (baba) who threw this sensational party.  I thought that it was very nice of her to throw this awesome party to celebrate his birthday. 



There were thirty six adults and two children (my brother and I).  It was really nice to be reintroduced to people I haven't seen since I was a little kid!  (Although, I got a lot of lipstick on my cheeks from all of the kissing!)


Whenever Russians have party's, we feast! As you can see in this photo, the table is packed with food and everybody gobbling up their dinner.  



This is my favorite Russian food of all, blinchike! 
(bleen-chick-ee)  A blinchike is pretty much a crape.  In this picture, on the side is caviare. I'm not a big fan of caviare, so sometimes I eat them plain, or for desert, I have them with strawberry jam or chocolate. Yum! :)



Since they didn't have all of the scrumptious toppings, I ate a plain one.  They are still good with nothing on them. 




This is my baba's good friend Luba. (loo-ba)
My baba lives in a town house and Luba lives in the same town house, and they are really close neighbors.  Luba makes the best blinchike I have ever tasted.  



The best part of party is that you get to spend time with the people you see a lot, and the people you don't see a lot.  All together, everybody had a fantastic time at the party and I hope we can have another one soon.



Have you had a big party recently? If so, tell me about it!
Does any of the food look familiar to you? Which ones?

Father Daughter Dance!


Custom Glitter Text
Every year our school hosts a father daughter dance where the girl dresses up in nice clothes, and the dads wear suits.  There is a DJ,  and everybody dances!  It was really fun!


























































     


This is my dad and I at the dance! The dance is three hours, (7:00-10:00pm) so girls and dads get hungry.  There is a gorgeous snack bar right out of the room.   There is hot chocolate ( coco ),  
twizzlers, and doughnuts.  And of course, water.  Usually, the dads talk outside, while the girls go on stage and dance and sing with the DJ.  But when it comes to Father Daughter dances, the girls dance with their dad, not their friends.  







For " Thriller " by Micheal Jackson, the DJ made up a dance.  All of the girls joined in, and some dads even!  








This is a picture of all of the girls dancing " Thriller "







My mom made my dad take the camera and take lots of pictures.   Every once in a while, my dad would make my friends and I take a picture.  We ended up having a lot of pictures of my friends!  






This is my friend Annie and I.  






This is my best friend Sasha.  










Did you have fun at the dance if you went?

What would be your favorite part?
