She's very very close to being potty trained - a little more diligence on her parent's behalf would probably result in the completion of that process. She loves to sing and color. She loves Dora and Lightning McQueen. She definitly has a big personality of her own.
Saturday was Siena's birthday party at Casa De La Cruz. Mason was ready for the party 3 weeks ago when we bought the invitations...now he's asking if its Christmas yet...
Siena's Great Grandpa Art was able to come to the party. Our entry stairs often pose a challenge for him these days but luckily there were enough helpful guys around to help him up and he seemed to have a good time.
Chris, Sharon, and Giada came. This is 2 weeks in a row that Baby G has made the blog. Its a record! Course, she does make for come cute blog material...
And of course its Mr. BerrEn. I'm determined to spell his name correctly this time. Though he doesn't look too pleased with the situation in this picture, I can assure the home (or work) reader that he did cheer up as the party wore on.
Here's uncle Walt showing off the shiner Annette, er a fall, gave him. He's also wearing a tree twig in his ear courtesy of his jaunt over to the JP Morgan unsold abode next door.
Here's Siena catching her hair on fire attempting to blow out her 3 candles. No, I am not kidding.
The Birthday song process. Yes, these 2 photo's are out of order.
Siena's Lightning McQueen cake! Yes, as mentioned previously in this very blog, Siena chose Cars for her birthday party theme. As a true feminist that she is, she is not encumbered by gender biases and categorization and nor should I be...and it's a darn cute cake for a darn cute little girl.
YaYa was kind enough to bring a little present for Mason. Its a motorcycle with a little guy riding it. It took all of 4 minutes for the little guy to be thrown for his bike and for the motorcycle to begin driving itself. And did I mention how wound up Mason was for this party?!? 3 weeks of buildup all erupting in a 3 hour span.
Aaahhh, presents. Siena got a lot of nice gifts. There were a lot of artsy-craftsy gifts that are PERFECT for her. She loves that kind of thing. She's already made her mark on each of the coloring and activity books.
The Hams, Evanses, Johnson's, and Great Grandparents pitched in and got Siena the cool slide pictured in the box below. Both kids LOVE it. Currently its set up in the living room but eventually it will make its way downstairs and I'll get my tidy living room back.
And my favorite is Siena's new plaid hat!!!!!!
Siena got a cute little purse from Barb and Keith Walker that came with her own bottle of lotion. She lubricated herself. A lot.
Ryder and Kaden seemed to enjoy their party favors...
I kept trying to take a break. It was a very active party. People keep popping out kids which keep the parties lively these days.
Mason ate at least a dozen suckers. According to him "I just keep finding them..." Unfortunately that means that none of the other kids were able to arrive home with their suckers...
At one point in the evening the slide box turned into a slide itself. Barb and YaYa tried to maintain order and decorum in the slide line but it was chaos.
Kaden showing how it's done.
Siena too.
And then the balloon fight started. Caveat to parents: If you purchase this kind of balloon for your child's party, expect total mayhem.
Yup, it was a good party. We're spending today recovering from it.
