Friends, Food, and Fun!

Bette Sue got to celebrate her birthday with Rocklettes at the Millsaps' home, indoor fireworks and games! The birthday cake is called Shakotis, which is a traditional cake here that is used for very special occasions. (The fireworks were sitting on top of the cake.) She was blessed with beautiful flowers, cards, and gifts. The whole celebration was fun from beginning to end. Friends greeted her at church and dropped by the house to help celebrate together. Birthdays are important in Lithuania and definitely a time to honor others in a variety of ways. This year just reminded us again of how blessed we are to live in Lithuania and have so many dear friends here that we count as family.
