Party Day

We finally got around to having Sara's Welcome/Happy Citizenship/First Birthday Party. Thank you everyone who was able to join us! It was really fun to have everyone here.

Our house has never seen such an impressive tornado of children! Wow. Lots of nice, cute kiddos. But thank goodness we now have some fun stuff to play with or it could have gotten ugly.

Alas, yesterday was the first time our little Guatemalan princess has been a bit under the weather since she came to the U, S of A. This picture about sums up her mood.



She wouldn't even eat her awesome cake that Jen made, or strawberries, so you know she wasn't feeling too hot.





So while we can't exactly say Sara had a a great time, the rest of us enjoyed ourselves. I did anyway.

Just to make sure we provided plenty of hazardous activities and sugar, we had the world's smallest pinata, filled with the world's stalest candy. It was pretty slow going getting that pinata busted open, since most of these kids are under four. Luckily we had Julian, aka the Stapleton Slugger, around to save us. Special thanks to Emma for collecting all of the lollipops from the yard.











Later we had a rousing game of duck duck goose, unfettered by the actual rules of that game.





And if you're reading this and own any of the following, let us know: sunglasses (Amanda?), baby bjorn (David & Lisa?), baby key toy (James? David & Lisa?), cool square plate (Jen?), package of wipes.
