It's good to be 11 AND a US citizen!


Caris Turns 11 !!

We celebrated on January 28th with Caris' first American birthday party. Our special guests were three DeLille girls: Caitlyn, Fedila and Rachel. The pinata filled with candy was the big hit. Caris and Fedila, who are brand new to America, were amazed when the pinata ripped open to reveal a cache of candy! What a great country!
