Hannah's Cupcake Party!

We celebrated Hannah's party last Saturday, April 11th. She turned 2 years old. It was another wonderful party. The day was windy and cold, but I was glad it didn't rain like it was predicted. We had tons of people, 33 adults and 33 kids to be exact :) We served chicken, rice, beans, guacamole, salsa, corn and flour tortillas and chips. We served mac-n-cheese for the kiddos. We also had cupcakes and a delicious carrot cupcake cake for the adults. Paula Stiller is our photographer at each party. I never get tired to share how wonderful, patient, talented and sweet she is. She arrives at least 1 hour early to get the best photos and here's how it all started....

Ashley didn't have her hair done yet, but mommy was working on it :)
























My cousins from California with their spouses and kids..... it was great to see them!

























My sister, Sofia, with her husband, Mike and their kids...

We'd like to thank our family and friends for coming over to celebrate with us! Thank you for all the great gifts! A special BIG THANK YOU to my mom, sister, cousins, uncle, aunt, and everyone else that helped me with food preparations, set up, decorations, balloons, dishes, clean up and everything else that needed to be done. We could have never done all of this without you. We appreciate you very much!!! We hope you enjoyed the party as much as we did!

To our precious Hannah: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
Daddy, mommy, and big sister Ashley!

Love all the bright colors. The party looked like a lot of fun. If you don't start that planning business soon...I think you have a real talent for party planning!
