Party Pics

I know I just posted a million pictures, but I still need to post pictures from Marcelito's party!

We had a farm themed party for our little piggy. Grandpa and Grandma were awesome and let us host it at their house, which was perfect because they have a barn, a tractor, and a giant backyard for the kids to play in. I prayed and prayed all day that it wouldn't rain so the kids could play outside. Chances of a sunny day were slim; the weather reports said thunderstorms. Right before the party was going to start, there was a giant black cloud moving it's way towards us. But it disappeared and it didn't rain!

My mom and my mother-in-law set up the decorations. If you can't tell from the picture, the tables had hay in the middle, with little farm animals. Check out how long the kid's table was!

My mom made cute little pig party favors for all the kids. As you can see, there were a lot of kids! Thank you, Mom, for taking the time to do that. You're the best!

I was kind of retarded and decided to make 3 cakes. I would have just chosen one, but the recipe book said each cake would feed 10, and we had more than 30 people there, so I made all three. I almost cried when ONE cake ended up being enough for everyone. Oh well, at least I have pictures, and I was able to get everyone to take some cake home. The four of us by the barn. My "aunt" Angelita with my little cousin Sofia, my cousin Juliana and her baby Gaby, me and my little monkey who refused to stay still for the picture, and my cousin Andrea and her baby Lina. Diego had so much fun driving the little tractor and riding the go-kart. I'm amazed at how well he drives it. He'll go around the whole loop by himself.

Grandpa took everyone on a tractor ride. The kids rode the go-kart.
Marcelito sat and watched from the four wheeler.

And then of course, there was cake. Marcelito loved it! He was a little hesitant at first, but then he got into it and made a mess. It was very different from Diego, who didn't want anything to do with his cake.
I was really happy with how everything turned out. Thank you again to Mike and Necha for letting us use their house, and thank you to everyone who came. I know I go over the top for my kids' first birthdays with fun decorations and whatever, so thank you for humoring me. What can I say? That's how they roll in Colombia.
