Party Time

Last Sunday was Gina's birthday party with ALL of her friends. Actually a few had other plans and couldn't come, but there were still a lot of kids from her preschool and las madres. We had it at the park to accommodate the large number of kids that she wanted to invite, complete with jumphouse to keep them all busy. I had forgotten that this park also has a water feature so a number of kids also got very wet and sandy as they turned the water into a sand volcano.

It ended up being a very warm day so the candles for the cake were starting to melt and the frosting on the cupcakes was starting to turn into melted butter. It was also a little windy so only one candle ended up staying lit, but it was better than none.

Uncle Steve made an appearance and I got a cute picture of him holding Dylan.

Once we got home, Gina wanted to open all her presents. The one problem with inviting so many kids is that there are so many presents, each with tiny little parts that get strewn about the house. This may be a big problem when Dylan starts to crawl since he loves to put stuff in his mouth. When Gina and Andrew were crawling, we didn't have any of the "not for children under 3 - small parts" stuff. Andrew had a very hard time understanding that the presents were for Gina and not for him.
