PARTY TIME!!

So we celebrated Jayanne's birthday over the weekend. It was alot fun. It is still weird to think that she is 2. We had almost the entire family there which made it even better. We had dinner, a pinata and presents. I will write about first then post all the pics. So dinner was really good and we wouldn't of been able to pull it off without the help of our families who all pitched in and brought something. It was fun to just sit and visit with everyone and have our families get to know each other better. After dinner we did the pinata. Which kinda ended up being a bust. We had a pull string one so all the cousins could participate and because we didn't think that having a bat being swung was the greatest idea. So all they had to do was pull a string and one lucky one would open the pinata....NOT! All of the strings got pulled and nothing happened. We know what string was supposed to open it but it didn't work. So Brian got a stick and had to break it open which was still a bust. So he swung the bat and the candy shot out, i mean literally, shot out of the pinata and went across the yard. Well most did. One hit my niece Ashley right in the forehead and about three others hit my sister Julie right in the face at full speed. Brian and I both felt completely awful. Thankfully they weren't way hurt or anything. Anyways, everyone had fun running around and picking up the candy that was everywhere. The best part was that my brother-in-law Chris told my dad that the pull strings wouldn't work and that we would have to bust it open and someone was gonna get hurt. After that we had Jayanne open her presents. She loved it. She would just start pulling things out of bags and throwing it behind her and then move one to another one. She didn't really pay much attention to what is in the bags or anything, she just wanted to get it out of there. But since then she has had fun playing with everything that she got. She got alot of stuff and I have no where to put so I guess that means its time to get rid of some of her other toys to make room for the new ones. After the presents we sang to her. We just did cupcakes since Jayanne is not a huge cake fan. So she blew out the candles on top of the cupcake and just ate ice cream. After she blew out the candles she sang to herself. Instead of singing happy birthday she sings Happy to you. It was really cute. She just kept singing it over and over. All in all I think it was alot of fun and turned out to be a great night celebrated with family.

Everyone just hanging out.

Getting ready for the pinata fun.

Jayanne taking her time deciding what one to pull.

Ashley hoping for the best.

Miss Milly taking her turn at the pinata.

Each time Brigder pulled a string and nothing happened he would just chuck the string on the ground and storm off. It was funny.

Mckenzie trying her best to pick the right string. She did get the right one just nothing happened. Zach was very anxious waiting for his turn but having fun at the same time.

Brian going in for the kill.

Jayanne opening her presents.

Jayanne having fun opening her presents. She would get frustrated when I would make her look at the cards instead of letting her open the presents. Needless to say not all the cards where looked at.

Blowing out the candles.

Happy to you!!

My cute niece Avery.
