JUST A FEW B'DAY IMAGES FOR NOW

IT WAS A GREAT FIESTA!
Between Nicki and Me, I have tons of images. I plan to go back through these later and show more images that will give a little more detail to Natalie's 3rd Birthday Fiesta. But for now I have a few images to post.
Natalie and the Pinata!
I loved our authentic pinata. I serached the web pretty good to find this one. The little children were quite cute with the pinata. They weren't too sure why they were hitting this thing, but just the same it was fun to them. It was so cute seeing the expressions on their faces.
Natalie and her parents with her 3 cakes: Dora cake, Diego cake
and her cake with 3 candles for her to blow and a make a wish.

I didn't realize it until afterwards that we should have put the cake with the candles on the highest tier.

Natalie was the first down the slide.

Last year, I made everyone wait until she had opened all her gifts. But this year I thought we would do it different. I knew they would be ready to slide so I thought after they slide for a while then I will ask Natalie to come open her gifts. The other kids didn't have to watch her open her gifts. But I never dreamed that Natalie would rather slide too than open her gifts. We finally had to threaten her that we would have to deflate the slide if she didn't go open her gifts.

And after the most of the guests left, Natalie's parents and her Mimi joined her in some water play. There are no photos to document my time on the slide, but I have sore all week. After that third rough ride down, I decided three time would be enough for me. It's funny. I am always scolding Randy (Natalie's Poppa) about playing so hard...acting like a kid because he is aways injurying his back...I guess it was my payback.
Natalie isn't looking, but this is just before all three slide down together.

The ride down!

The Spash at the Bottom!

The cool water was one great way to beat the heat at an outdoor birthday party in July!

I will post the rest of the images that tell our b'day story at later date.
