Ofcourse the theme was SOCCER! She's so into it. She's been playing for like the past two years non stop all year. So it wasn't difficult to find a way to incorporate soccer into her party, starting with this piñata that Lucy made for her.
This was around the beginning of the day. We were preparing for the party. I love this picture because even though my gramma didn't want to take a picture, it ended up looking so sweet. I really like it. And this one of my two babies is another favorite. I can't believe how different they look yet at the same time they look so alike. Look at those eyes! Can anyone say "SMIZING" haahaha!
I really have to give my mom all the credit for the food. She worked so hard. She had been working on food since the night before and woke up very early the next day to start cooking. She made carnitas, rice, green spaghetti, potato salad, and the list could go on and on.
Look at these carnitas. Nothing can taste better than being cooked in lard! haha MMMMM!
We all wore our soccer jerseys. Here's her daddy with a Guatemala jersey and Natalie with her jersey that her gramma brought her straight from Mexico.
Ofcourse she had to show off that her jersey was from el CHICHARITO the best player in the world right now!
I didn't have my jersey on yet, but I ended up wearing a PUMAS jersey.
The party was slowing getting started. Here she is with her BFF Celina! They're so cute together!
Here's some of her many guests. They played tons of soccer in my mom's yard. Poor grass, my mom was crying over it! hahaha!
Then instead of having official birthday games we decided to go behind the baseball field by our house and play soccer games. It ended up being the best idea ever. Everyone loved it. It was 4 teams of kids and adults playing soccer. Everyone had so much fun.
Afterwards our piñata was one of a kind because we didn't break it the regular way. We kicked it open. Instead of hitting it with a stick, we had the kids kick it. They really enjoyed it, and I thought it was much safer than having a kid swinging a stick around! :)
Ofcourse like always the piñata falls off the rope before it gets broken so it has become our favorite tradition to make it rain with candy!
And my brother is the best at it! We always hand him the candy and he starts to throw them.
Now I don't recommened everyone to do this because it's a dangerous sport, but our kids are use to it already. But if you do maybe you should pass out some head gear because in the process there will be some swollen heads and one or two kids crying. hahahaha! But it's so much fun!
The cake was delicious. My sister Alma brought it. It was almost too pretty to actually cut.
Here are all the kids at her party. More than half of them are all family!
It was such a fun and successful party. Some people think that it's a waste of money to make this types of parties. But I have to say that every cent spent was worth it. Seeing the anticipation in my daughter for her party. Then being able to have so many friends and family together. Sharing a good dinner, laughing, talking, and celebrating together has no price. I think that all the adults had as much fun as the kids, I know I did! And thanks to a wonderful husband who was wonderful and so helpful the whole day. I couldn't have done it without him. I got to reunite with old friends and got to meet new ones. All in all, it is now such a wonderful memory!
