Charlie and Malachi's Birthday Party

We had Charlie's birthday party today. We joined forces with his friend, Malachi's family and it was great. We had a really nice turn out. About 16 kids and their families came. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, had cupcakes and a piñata. The entertainment was to let the kids play at the park. It was very simple and it went great.

The wind was blowing pretty hard the whole time and it was hard to keep the decorations in place. We didn't end up opening any of the presents because I was worried that the paper would be clear across the park in all of 2 minutes. The piñata was a huge hit (no pun intended) but we needed AJ to make the final hit that broke it. He also lent his services to hanging the piñata in the tree by climbing the tree with some rope. The rope came from Malachi's grandma who just happen to have it with her from her last zip-lining experience in Costa Rica. The woman is amazing. If I ever get stuck out in the wilderness, I want to be stuck with her. She was prepared.

It was a great party and the boys seemed to have had a great time.

Happy 4th birthday Charlie!
