So, I had the wonderful joy of celebrating my niece's 1st birthday this past weekend. It was a perfect family gathering with Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, Cousins and a couple of close friends. Not too big. A few balloons and cupcakes. Just perfect. I had to share my favorite part of the afternoon... the birthday girl's dad had an inkling to have a pinata (every kid party has a pinata of course) so pinata there was. A giant #1 in pink and white. It was fluffy and frilly and suspended from the branches of an old oak tree. The babies took their turns swinging (with a golf club - dad is still new to the pinata scene and wasn't quite prepared with the proper "bat") and then my boys (age 9 and 7, seasoned pinata professionals and a force to be reckoned with when it comes to golf clubs) pretty much decimated the cute #1. And here is the best part... spilling from the insides of this darling pinata were not only the requisite tiny candies... but something for everyone present at the party - adults and children alike. What a BRILLIANT idea. You'll see in the photo, just a few of the wonderful treasures that had been tucked inside ... Surf wax for the surfers, trashy magazines for the moms, hand selected favorite candies, juice boxes for the little guests and juice (plastic) bottles for the adults...
Cheers!
Kim
