Mexican Birthdays

We were lucky enough to go to Mexico in April and some of May to visit Jesus' family. We happened to be there during Jesusito's birthday, so we had a birthday party for him, and I think it was the BIGGEST party he has ever had and will ever have!

Imagine being in a backyard with these cute table toppers everwhere, streamers everywhere and posters of Spiderman everywhere...Jesusito was in heaven!

Jesusito had a blast! There was dancing, games, toys for everyone: just really fun! My sister in laws in Mexico stayed up the previous day and night and prepared food for the party. There were two yummy tres leche cakes made by my niece and they were fantastic! They went all out and all they asked me to do was blow up balloons...okay.:)

Jesusito was so excited that it was his birthday and was so excited to have Happy Birthday sung to him. So when he saw the cakes, he was all ready for them to sing, but they started singing "Las mananitas" which Jesusito had no clue what it was about. You can see in his face up above the confusion..."Las mananitas" is not a short song, either...
They're still singing and Jesusito is getting more and more anxious
Until he blew the candles out...can you tell they're still singing?:) We also did "mordida," which is pretty much him biting a piece of the cake and us shoving his face in. He knew exactly what was going to happen and when I told him they wouldn't do it, he was so mad at me when they did. I'm such a bad mom, but I got a great video.:) Hopefully one day I can figure out how to upload it on here.:)

He was out as soon as he hit the pillow. He had such a fun time and it was a great experience for him!

The funniest part was the pinata, though. Those Mexican kids are VERY aggressive, not to mention their Mexican moms as well.:) Jesusito and Jasmine had never been around a crowd like that with a Pinata and didn't grab any candy at all! They just sat there and cried! Good thing their Gringa mom was as aggressive as the Mexican moms!:)
