Abby's Birthday - part(y) two


 The weather was so nice this evening that we moved the party outside. We had the same menu and had all the same decorations. Easy peasy.

getting ready for the pinata

 The pinata had strings that you could pull and only one was attached to the trap door to free the candy. We thought we'd try that version instead of the 'ole stick. Stay with the stick, you guys. It was a bust. The strings are too hard to pull for younger kids and then... the trap door was up on the back not the bottom (different than the "loading door" to put the candy in). So I just quick shook all the candy out. Use the stick, folks. Oh well, we had an intact Elmo pinata. Anyway need one? 
Another cake. still Elmo, but I added a few other faces and left it in an easy 9x13 pan instead of making the layered round cake. The one was chocolate too, just to change it up. Abbi did better blowing this one out; I guess it just took her practice.
