Happy Birthday Summer

Sunday we hosted Summer’s 4th Birthday party at our place. 5 of her little friends and their parents joined us for a very rainy beach party.

We spent the first couple of hours playing around the house and then we had the kids do the piñata in the gazebo. It was a ‘ribbon’ Dora piñata, so there were no sticks involved. I think the kids would have preferred the stick… parents preferred the ribbons! I filled it with some really bulky stuff, so the body pretty much fell off after a few ribbons were pulled and we had to pry her open at the backpack.

The rain let up, so a couple rounds of T-ball were in order followed by a quick swim.

Summer was thrilled to have her little friends to play with and she loved her Dora cake and received very nice gifts.



Don and I gave her a digital camera for her to take pictures on our trip to BC, and a Toy Story 2 Jesse Doll – which is now her current obsession. This morning she insisted we call her Emily (Jesse’s owner in the movie…)



I can honestly say, the last four years have been by far, the worst and the best moments of my life.
