Dada's Fiesta

Clarita has decided that birthdays equal parties and insisted that we needed to have a fiesta to celebrate Dada's birthday. She even went so far as to refuse to sing happy birthday to him until his fiesta! Dada and a few friends went to Vegas for the night on his actual birthday and Clara finally relented and agreed to sing happy birthday to him via video. We decided to have a family birthday fiesta the Saturday following his birthday and were lucky enough that everyone was able to attend! We ate pasta, and of course cake (with a number nine candle that Clara picked out) and ice cream, the kids ran around absolutely crazy, and we had a nice evening of hanging out. Baby Emmett got snuggles from everyone and Clara, Tristan, and Teegee plowed through the house like hurricanes! Poor Bayleaf had a reaction to her vaccinations and had a fever and was a little under the weather. That being said, she still managed to rally and play with the big kids for awhile. We had a great night celebrating our favorite Dada!

"Come on Bayleaf!"

Who doesn't eat shoe for dinner?

Pillow fight!

This is how I found them sitting!

Where did Dada and Tia Alyssa get their photogenic smiles from?

Not Abuela Sheri! (We always joke that none of
the grandma's can smile on cue)

He's nine!
