double the fun

Last weekend we had two birthdays to help celebrate!

First up was Miss Millie, who had a really fun pool party, which was perfect on such a hot day.



Both kids had a super fun time playing in the pool. I had a super fun time with the moms and summer beer, thanks to Carol and the lifeguards.


Any time we go to a birthday party, Little Miss J says that we have to get plates, balloons, and party blowers. So, if any of you get these as part of your birthday gift, that is why.

Apparently, pinatas are a birthday party hit with little kids ... until the third person in line decapitates the donkey and ruins it for everyone.


I sort of wish I had a picture of the riot that ensued. Nearly every single kid that was left in line busted out in tears. All the kings horses and all the kings men did some re-engineering and got that pinata back together again so the remainder of the kids could take a whack at it. By the way Ken, I purposefully chose the picture where you mostly cropped out in case you weren't thrilled about modeling your swimsuit on the internet. Kudos to you for holding that pinata up for that long though. Impressive.

The second birthday party of the weekend was Gus's mom. We went out for hibachi and then home for what is becoming the standard family birthday cake - the fruit basket from Freeport Bakery.



And by Sunday evening, we were all partied out ... just in time for work on Monday. Sigh. Glad we got to join in the celebration with so many friends and family! Happy Birthday Millie and Halmoni!
