Esa's B-day

A few weeks ago when we were in Portland for the parade we also attended our good friend Esabella's b-day party at Wilshire Park. It was a blue skied, sunny day and the kids had a blast running around the park, making foam crowns and wands (it was after all, a princess themed birthday much to Emilio's dismay), hitting a pinata open and collecting the candy, and moshing cake! The funniest thing that happened during the party was Gabi (who happened to be the youngest walking party guest) volunteering to whack at the pinata. She ran up in her pretty sundress, complete with a newly bejewled crown and said, "I can do it," and proceeded to give out all she had with the stick. It was pretty darn cute. Of course Emilio wasn't about to be shown up by his kid sister and went up and aggresively swung at the pinata as well almost taking out two party guests while he did it. We all laughed hysterically at his fervor. Here are a few cute shots captured at the party.
