Birthday Party

We had Molly's birthday party this weekend. Things did not go as planned, but the day turned out good. We had relatives come from out of town and two of Molly's friends came to party it up with us.

I was not thinking about birthday gifts, so you can imagine my surprise by the amount of gifts Molly received. She got a lot of clothes (thank you, thank you, thank you!) or maybe I should say that the gifts were really for me because she received enough clothes to last her through the summer. We have a very long summer here so I should be good for a year or so. Seriously things are so expensive and I don't see how parents with more than one kid can keep them fed and clothed. Of course she is too young to understand and I know kids don't like getting clothes as gifts but mommies love it! My sister (who lives very far away) sent us cash and this is what I bought with the money.....

This is what I have learned:

1. Do not have birthday or any parties at house

2. Babies (and papi's) do not care that there is a party, they like their naps

3. I have to get over this whole idea of "planning a day"

4. Babies LOVE piñata's!

Molly's grandma bought this piñata for her, yes it was about three times the size of her and was a blast to watch small and big kids whack it!
