Cumple de 80

It is not always the most anticipated birthday but it is pretty darn special when the special 80th birthday rolls around.  The my Argentine abuela Winda celebrated her 80th birthday this year and I had the honor to take part in the party. It was a lovely spring day that we spent eating and eating and eating but it was awesome to celebrate 80 awesome years of a woman so kind and loving whose love spreads to everyone she meets. She is famous for her pinwheel chocolate cake and spaghetti and well just about anything she cooks, but the party was at a restaurant so she got a day off from cooking us all delicious food.  Her 4 kids surprised her by dancing a tango with their spouses.  It was an afternoon filled with tons of food (I mean it!)  and the pleasant company of family friends.  I hope the abuela Winda had an awesome day and many more!  She even calls me nieta (grandaughter) and makes me feel absolutely like family.  I am absolutely blessed to have one of the most loving host grandmas that exists and I know I will never forget her.
