My sweet little Sophie had her seventh birthday and was it ever a fun one. She wanted her birthday party on her actual birthday, even though Max tried to convince her that it's better to have it the next day because then it's like your birthday lasts longer, which is what he did of course! It started out perfectly because Sicily spent the night, so they each got breakfast in bed. The only difference in their trays was that Sophie got a little vase of flowers. We celebrated all day long...and then it was fiesta time. The only thing Sophie wanted for her party was a pinata, and the fiesta theme emerged. As each guest arrived they were given a nametag with a new Mexican name. Sophie was Isabel for the night! They played rojo-verde light, and I even tried to teach them amarillo (yellow)! They did the macarena. They ate tacos. Party favors came from the mercado (market). We set up a little shop in my bedroom with all kinds of fun things like flip-flops, sunglasses, lotion, treats, glow necklaces, etc., priced in pesos, and they were each given pretend pesos to buy items. Max was Pedro all night long, helping serve food, run the games for me, and he did the best job as the cashier at the mercado. The party was topped off with the bashing of the pinata. It always makes me a little sad to ruin something so cute! Sophie is always so good to me that it makes it extra fun to spoil her for a day. She really is a light (a bright amarillo one) in our lives.
