Cinco de Septiembre Birthday

On James' Birthday, you saw the video of us waking him up (below). And then he got dressed and had breakfast and got to open his gift from Papa Jim & Gramma Becky and his card from the Great-Grandparents......(with help, of course)
James got a really cute, soft blanket from Dad & Becky
And he got a really cute Thomas card (he loves Thomas!)
with a dollar inside!

We had sort of a regular day, until dinner time. Then we had our Cinco de Septiembre dinner/fiesta with the Westenskow family. I made a taco/burrito bar with beans, rice, and limeade...
James ate dinner wearing his crown that Addie made for him.
He was so happy to have his best nursery pal, Lydia (he calls her "Neeneeah"), over for dinner, too.

Letting babies taste limes never stops being funny.
Heh-heh!

After dinner, it was pinata time!
James loved the Tootsie Rolls!
Pinata kids: In the back, there's Marissa W. with her friend, Jeannie (they're young women now, not kids!) ; then there's Jared, Hailey, Lydia, Addie, Heidi, James, and Curtis.
After pinata, we had birthday cupcakes (because we needed more sugar--ha!) and singing and wish-making...

Then James opened gifts
(this one is books and crayons from Lydia)
He loves this Fisher-Price Little People Airplane ("Pair-tain!")--the passengers have luggage adn they're going to Hawaii. When the pilot is in place, she talks to the passengers and then they sing. I didn't know it made all that noise, but it's cute!
Here's the gang again--
Thanks, Westenskows, for celebrating with us and for the nice gift!
James loves his Neeneeah!

"Letting children taste limes never stops being funny... heh heh." This was a very funny comment, with perfect pictures.
