Party Time!!

Jack ripped right into his presents, including a fireman costume that he wore the rest of the day. We had flower pots to decorate and plant flowers in (thanks Grandma for gardening assistance) and the always scary (if you are a parent), but always fun, pinata. In fact, Jack had 2 pinatas, and idea he latched onto a long time ago from the Hooray, A Pinata! story he got for an earlier birthday. He wanted a Lightening McQueen (not to break, but for decoration and a "thundercloud." Rosario and her husband took him to the pinata district downtown, and they were able to find a nice McQueen (wish I had a photo--let's just say I don't think Disney got royalties...). The best thundercloud they could find was the LA Dodgers star. That little kid had quite a sing, but eventually we did need to send Uncle Pate in to "loosen things up," and Jack was able to give it the final crack.
