Lester's Birthday Party

Party Preparations.......

Lester always loves to help with the cake.Licking the spoons is his favorite part!

Helping Daddy with the fondant!
It always turns into a family affair, everyone does their part!


We spent weeks making the pinata! Here we are FINALLY painting it....the day before the party! :)



And it's finished, with a few hours to spare till party time! WHY OH WHY are we such procrastinators!!!!

The Party.....

Per usual, we had Lester's party out at the White Tank Mountains. And AGAIN it was a windy day....it never fails but we continue to do it out there every year, we just love the scenery!
