Party Number 2

For our second party of the season, we headed down to Las Cruces to celebrate with the family down there.

Naomi has 2 girl cousins who both have birthdays within a month of hers, so we typically celebrate all three together, we'll see how that goes as they get older.

Each girl has different tastes of course, but I didn't want to make 3 different cakes (although the one cake is 3 different flavors...).  Naomi likes a Japanese movie called My Friend Totoro, so I made a little Totoro for her side of the cake.  Hannah loves Star Wars, and if you look on top of the castle you can see Luke and Darth Vador dueling (they are on top of the castle because the girls will all be going to Disneyland later in the summer and this is when they found out), and Jessica loves dinosaurs, so she got 3 friendly dinosaurs on her side.

This is Naomi and another cousin, Christina, who lives in Las Cruces.  We can Naomi Christina's mini-me because they look so similar (you should see pictures of Christina when she's younger, the resemblance is amazing!).

To complete the Disney theme we rented a Princess bouncy.  The kids all had a great time in there, and while there were no injuries, the bounce house did deflate at one point which scared some kids.

One of her birthday gifts was a bat, ball, and glove to play baseball.  Naomi has talked about playing baseball for a while (especially since we go watch Isotopes games during the summer), but I always figured she was a little too young.  Boy did she prove me wrong!  She was great at it!  Within 5 minutes of starting she was already hitting balls that Yaya pitched to her.  Just goes to show that I don't always know ;-)
