Audric's Birthday Party

I pretty much live my life vicariously through those who have children. When my sister-in-law asked for my help to plan Audric's birthday I was quiet excited. We started out with the Pinata last weekend. It took hours, but it was fun to conversate while we worked on it. Next was the cake, Stacy envisioned it, designed it on paper and worked most of the day Friday. As much as I would like to take credit for making such a beautiful cake I only helped put the fondant and grass around the edges. It turned out so beautiful and delicious too.




Audric has a fun personality, it's impossible to be upset around him because he's usually always happy. In the pictures above he got a little tired from his blow up pool slide. He fell asleep in his towel on his chair. When he awoke it was time to blow out the candles on his cake. He was obviously more into his sucker.

Most of my 1st cousins attended the party. It was fun reminiscing with them. We're all very close in age and we grew up spending every holiday and most weekends together (with Bob Marley always playing in the backround). My mom has 6 siblings but she was closed to her brother who had 8 children, lucky for us we always had someone to play with. We plan to meet more often.




I have some good looking cousins. I didn't get a chance to take pictures with all the little ones. This is Cindy's Daughter Lota, she looks just like her mommy when she was her age. Pina is Mele's daughter, in the picture with the waterslide.
