Birthday Fiesta 2011

Well the mustaches have been thrown away, the sombreros hung for another day, but I am pretty sure the kids would both tell you that their 11th and 3rd years of life are off to a great start! The birthday theme this year was a fiesta, Lilia is totally into Dora and Kaine well he just loves a good nacho. We had a small but very fun get together with some of the grandparents and of course Uncle Casey. Here are some pictures from the birthday fiesta...


 Birthday morning tradition of ballons and donuts
















 Brothers, 11 months and 11 years on the same day






 Lilia wants to be "aminual docor" when she gets bigger

 Mustache fun... seriously worth every penny of the $3 I spent






 It wouldn't be a fiesta without a pinata


 Presents from the Grandparents and Uncle Casey




 Candles and cake... Kaine's cake had a Lego helicopter but it was a fire hazard because of all 11 candles and had to be removed, if you look close you can see the landing marks











 We ended the day with a dip in the pool for the little ones and a quick trip to the lake with Grandpa Jerry for Kaine
