Gabby looks a little bored.
Juany is happy to be included.
Gabby is not holding onto the ceiling. I couldn't fit the entire scene into the picture.
Juan found 13 eggs. That is a far cry from Josie's 43. Juan was a little slow. He would see an egg (that I pointed out to him) but someone would get to it before he could. (namely Audi who followed Juan and me to pounce when I tried to show Juan where the eggs were)

The train table was a hit for the younger kids. I don't think Jonathan ever went outside to play. He sat for at least an hour watching as my dad assembled the table and track. He sat in a chair very quiet so he would not disturb Pa Pa.
Adult guest and Chino at the grill.
I wish the day could have been warmer and less windy. The kids did not get to roast their own hot dogs as I had planned. It was just too windy to put a fire in the pit.
PRESENTS!
This is Henry. Dawn and Robert's baby and Olivia's little brother. He is sooo cute. I love bald babies!
This is our the other baby guest. Dominic is China and Efrain's son and little brother to Elvira. He is huge. It hurt my back to hold him to long. But he is a good baby. He will go to anyone!
Audi went for the one handed swing. She picked up an appendage that was knocked off the pinata and did not want to put it down in fear that someone else would steal her prize. They like to wear these cone shaped pieces as hats.
Some of the smallest kids require assistance from Mom. I think this was Jonathan's first pinata. He will do better next time.
Fabby is too adorable to be much threat to a pinata.
Josie was so quick that the only pictures I got of her are blurred.
Gabby could take flight with this leap!
Olivia is getting good at whacking the pinata.
Then comes the strong big boys. Mario had to be stopped in his attempt to demolish the pinata so that others could possible get a turn.
Brianna barely got a turn in and then Bianca got the pinata to spill it's guts. Bianca was so quick that I didn't even get a picture and her poor brother did not get a turn at all.
Juan's birthday cake was created by Kym Grannemann. You can visit her website at www.kymsconfections.com.
We celebrated Juan's birthday on Saturday. The theme was Thomas the train. Here is a picture of Juan with his cake.
The kids played with Juan's train table. This was his present from me and Chino. My dad assembled it for Juan. It took about 3 hours!
Here is Mario relaxing and eating chips.
The kids played and had a good time.
Juan loves his train table! Thank you Papa for your hard labor.
Juan was excited about the pinata.

Elvira was tired out by the end of the party.
This is my parents dog Cisco. Chino and I gave him to my mother as a birthday gift 10+ years ago. He became Dad's little buddy. Cisco is a mean little demon. The kids call him "mean wo wo". A "wo wo" is what the kids called dogs when they were little. This stupid little dog will bite your toes when you walk across the floor and barks and growls at you. The kids are scared to death of him.
