It was this little guys 2nd B-day
(my nieces son)
He seemed to like his cake
and candle
very much
We then had a pinata ---do you think it is big enough?
It was hard to break but they finally just ripped into it
Not so big now--I always think the empty pinata is sad esp when it is a human like character
We got him this outfit and some books
Another great aunt got him this fun shirt
We also celebrated this Sweet nieces B-day
She had this yummy cake from Swiss Pastry Shop
We all love it
She got two new couches for her B-day

OH BOY!! So much fun and sweets everywhere! yummy... what a wonderful weekend... I would be as big as a house if I ate so much but I would also be so happy as well! Wonderful pictures to look at, a beautiful boy on his second birthday!
the cake looks really yummy! i wish i could have a bite or two hehe!
Beautiful party, Marcia! I am saddened by broken pinatas, too. I guess because so much joy and anticipation goes into creating one that the finality of the wreckage is sad.
But the party looks wonderful and so does all the goodness in these faces.
That looks like some great birthday celebration of 2 birthdays :)
That pinata is HUGE!! Must be filled with lots of goodies :)
Like your sister WITH glasses
