Happy First Birthday Abram!

We celebrated Abram's birthday on March 6th. We had to celebrate early because David's mom was heading to Mexico and we were going to head up to CO. Just a "few" pictures of the fun-filled day....

A close-up of the pinata, compliments of Tia Eli... This sucker was chock full of candy!

Our decorating skills...

More decorations... we didn't have the balloons out yet because it was so windy...

Where the food went... Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the delicious spread. Too busy eating it I guess. The Menu: Carne Asada, Rice, Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Corn, Pasta Salad, Marshmallow Fruit Salad, Hamburgers, Homemade Salsas (My mother-in-law's salsa verde is to die for!)... If you couldn't find something that you liked to eat at this party, you have issues! Delicioso!

The goodie bags for the kids. This was given out in addition to the pinata spoils! A dentist's worst nightmare!

Pre-party presents. As you may be able to tell from Abram's glistening eyes, he was struggling before the party started. I tried to appease him with presents from Grandma and Grandpa in Iowa. Cheered him right up....

So dinner was delicious and then for fun the rain started! We had to do a bit of quick rearranging to get things undercover. No worries though, not even rain could slow this party down! We had to wait for the weather to settle down to get the pinata out. But as you can see, no matter how late it was the kids were still super eager...

They are pretty serious about hanging the pinata. At Mali's 3rd birthday we just hung it on a hook! An entirely different method here... Tio Nany at one side...

Uncle Max at the other... So fun for the kids...

Especially when the candy goes flying! Mali refused to pick up any candy because she didn't have her treat bag yet to put it in! No worries, she got plenty of candy...

Watch out! Here come the adults! Candy for everyone...

David's sisters and cousins...

More family and friends...

Happy Birthday cake compliments Tia Jocy... so cute! Unfortunately, Abram couldn't enjoy it because of his allergies...

Since Abram has his stinking allergies, Tio Nany made up this super cute fruit kabob creation...

Our little man in his brand new PJs... Thanks Grandma!

Even though it was super late... there were presents to open! Tons of fun presents! Thanks everyone!

So there you have it! Our little man's first birthday, done "Mexican style". It was tons of fun and great to be surrounded by so many friends and family. Thanks to everyone who made the day possible. Happy Birthday Abram!
