Party time
Elisa turned five yesterday and celebrated with a party today. She'd invited eight of her little friends, and all were on vacation except one! Can you believe it? We still had a nice group at the party, including Mom & Dad, Rod & Dora, their friend Frances, and Hannah's mom and siblings. It was actually quite nice having a managable number of kids. They played great together and the adults had a nice time visiting.
Elisa was thrilled with all of her gifts. Here she is with her new Korean doll that Marie sent. (Click on any picture for a larger view.)
A couple months ago when Rod & Dora were here, Elisa invited them to her birthday party. After discovering that Rod's birthday is July 30, she decided they should have a joint party. Here's Rod opening one of his gifts.
Opening the presents was lots of fun, but the kids were especially excited about hitting the piñata that Aunt Dora made. Here they are, full of excitement and ready to take a whack at it.
Elisa gave it her best shot. . . .
but it was Caleb that busted it open and let the candy fly! (This picture really is worth clicking on for a larger view.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELISA!!:) WE LOVE YOU!! That party sure looks like it was a lot of fun! Hope it was a great day!
now! the picture of Caleb does not show how he REALLY hit that pinata. He swung that bat like he was going to hit a home run. As Kari said, "candy flew", well it really did! from the driveway, then across the yard. I bet Betsy found some the next day. It was a fun party..good cake!
