A 50th Fiesta for Aunt Judy

This afternoon we went to a Mexican Fiesta for my Aunt Judy who is turning 50 on Monday, the 5th of May. What better way to celebrate than with a Mexican Fiesta theme complete with yummy fixings for tacos and burritos and of course a pinata, or two!

Hannah was in seventh heaven when she wandered into the backyard and found a tetherball and other girls her size to play against! She even played a game or two against Gramma. She loves playing tetherball at school.It wasn't long after everyone was finished eating that a pinata was brought out for the kids. All the kids had a chance at whacking the pinata. Take a look the huge smile my Cousin Kevin has on his face, he was having a ton of fun being in charge of the pinata rope. Every picture I have of the pinata, he has the biggest grin or is laughing. It was fun to see how much fun he was having with the kids. The pinata was ultimately broken by Aunt Judy and when it was busted, all sorts of yummy treats went flying. After the pinata and scooping up of the candy, we had cake and ice cream and Aunt Judy opened her presents. The last present she opened came from my Grandma. It was a pinata of her very own, that she could break, and only she was allowed to claim what came out of the pinata, it was her present afterall. Once Aunt Judy broke through the pinata, fifty brand new one dollar bills eventually came flying out along with some Over the Hill mints. It was a creative gift and went very nice with the theme.

We continued to hang out for a while, chatting with family, the girls playing. But once on the road, it wasn't long before we had two girls alseep in the backseat, worn out from playing so hard.
