Adriana's Birthday

We were watching a nature show about crocodiles and Adriana built this croc out of blocks.
First Adriana wanted to have a butterfly birthday party, but she wanted to invite a few boys, so we decided to have a bug party. This is supposed to be a caterpillar made out of cupcakes.


We had the pinata inside and here is a shot of Nikolay dangling it from a broomstick because we had no place to hang it from. Adriana was the only one who requested a pinata this year, but I made it a little too strong and the kids couldn't bust it open, we had one of the dads eventually whack it.

Another early morning present opening ceremony. It was so hard to shop for Adriana this year because she didn't really want anything, so I just had to really pay attention to what she liked and was interested in and the cool thing is that she was genuinely surprised with her gifts.

My next post will be all about Ariel's baptism, that happened last weekend.

Wow that pinata is awesome! We'll have to have one in Aug. And then you can show me how you made it. Looks like a fun bug party. You are such a great mom;)

Do you mean to say that the kids sometimes CAN break open a pinata without a parent giving it a whack or two?

Cute caterpillar cupcakes. And it almost looks as if Nikolay is smiling in that picture!!! :)
