Great day for a birthday party!

Our new friend, Dakin, turns 3 tomorrow - Halloween day! Our old friend, Azure, turns 1 tomorrow - also Halloween day, our neighbor across the street turned 10 today. What a fun time to have a birthday! We celebrated Azure last weekend with a fabulous paisley party and today we got to help celebrate Dakin with all things Halloween. Take a look at the festivities (and my children in their backup Halloween costumes). Stay tuned for their real ones. :-)

Here's Dakin ready for his first swing at the pinata

Caroline trying to lift the heavy bat high enough. She took several swings but only made contact once. And then her hair fell off and she fell down. She was done after that.

Jackson had better luck and even incorporated some of his light saber moves. It was awesome!

It was a wonderful party and we were so happy to be there to celebrate with Dakin!
