Emma's Birthday

We made "Mexican flowers" for party decorations.

This was our first attempt at cake pops.

They were such a big hit we might have to try out some more recipes.The party crowd.

The make your own fruit kabobs were also a hit with the party crowd.

The pinata.

Emma has wanted one for several years now.
Guess it was a good year to do one, since the weather was beautiful.
I think in the last 9 years, this was the first year we could have done an outdoor party.
In fact, last year the weather was so lousy, at least one of the girls stayed over night and we had unexpected guests. A truck slid and flipped over on the road in front of our property. The young man and his fiance spent part of the evening with us waiting for the state troopers and then a ride from relatives.
I was thankful for the improvement in the weather and for no unexpected guests.
