Cinco de Mia!!

Our baby girl turned 1 last Thursday and we had one fun Cinco de Mia fiesta!
We partied at the park around the corner from us and had about 20 adults and 25 kids for dinner, pinata, bubbles, cake and flan, and a special visit from Senor Neil :)
We loved celebrating our little Mia with so many great friends, thanks guys!

the menu: Shrimp and Chicken tacos with pineapple, 7-layer dip, fresh guacamole, watermelon, mexican rice, mangos, fruit salad, chips and salsa and it was sooo yummy!


We got these fun apple juices at Costco...I know it looks bad, but I couldn't resist :)

the little chick pinata that Dave picked out :)
We didn't get to do our Neil Diamond Christmas party this year, so we had to bring him out to the fiesta-- he was loved by all!

ready for bed after a GREAT night!!

We can't even put into words how happy this little girl makes our family.  Zanna and James still fight over who gets to sit by her at dinner almost every night and love to make her laugh and help take care of her.  She loves to "sing" with Dave and has some sweet dance moves and is adding to her repertoire ever yday.  She loves books, dogs, emptying every drawer in the house, is obsessed with the vacuum, Loves all meat and loves to cuddle with me and always pats us on the back when we pick her up from her bed. She waves, claps, does all sorts of animal sounds- elephant being my favorite, she just learned to fold her arms for prayer, she gives kisses and hugs, and smiles at everyone we walk past with her big teeth and darling grin. 
We love you Mia Charlotte-- happy 1st birthday!

I too about fell off the chair when I saw Neil in a sombrero! Well done! Mia is such a cute little stinker. It makes me a little upset that you guys were out of here before she could smile at us. We miss you! Have fun in CA and happy trails to Idaho!

Your family is so darling, and funny! Mia is the cutest one-year-old ever! Neil was as handsome as always! I can picture that park and could practically taste those shrimp tacos. Would love to have been there! I miss you all, every minute!

Neil, you're seriously killing me! You're sorta creepy making eye contact with the camera. None the less, at least you showed up, unlike the Christmas party of 2010. Happy birthday Mia
