Bea Turns One!

Sorry I haven't been able to get many updates lately. I was without a computer for awhile. However, everything is working.....so here's what's happened.

Millie and Theta decided to have a party in the park for Bea. They had a small picnic area decorated very nicely with streamers and balloons. There was lots of pizza, bread sticks, and salad to eat. Lots of family showed up to help celebrate.

Once everyone had enough to eat, we moved to another area of the park for the pinata. Millie and Theta rigged the pinata so that the little children could pull on a string and confetti would fall out. After all the little children pulled the strings, it was the big kids turn. Everyone had lots of fun attacking the pinata and then eating all the candy that fell out.

There were a couple different cakes. Millie got a small cake which looked like a dog for Bea. Christopher really liked the "woof woof" cake. We also had a tres leche cake which was decorated with Dora. We all sang "happy birthday" to Bea and then had cake and ice cream.

When it came time for the presents, Bea sat in her little chair and waited to see what she got. She got a LOT of clothes and lots of cool toys. It was a really fun party, if you ignore all the mosquitoes.

The party wouldn't have been complete if Joe hadn't got suck in the tree.

The boys try to figure out how to get Joe down.

Ten minuets later Joe's still in the tree.
