Lily's birthday party was, as we have come to expect, creative, fun and relaxing. The theme was 'bugs.' The "cake" was a gooey confection that resembled dirt and was served in a galvanized steel bucket, complete with gummy worms. Awesome. (Not to mention the chocolate rocks that looked just like rocks. It was uncanny; I was half convinced the first kid to bite in would break a tooth.)
Then there was the piñata. It was beautiful, home made, and shaped like a butterfly. But I've had a lot of experience with piñatas at little kids' parties, and it's always the same: dangerous swinging of heavy clubs, worried parents warning their children to stay back, and mounting frustration as the piñata proves nearly impossible to break open. This was no different. Until, that is, Aaron broke out the sword.
Eventually the hull of the butterfly dreadnought was breached and the children got candy and gift bags and were happy.
The day was also beautiful, if a little hot, and there were lots of good people to socialize with in Aaron and Wendy's expansive back yard.
Happy birthday, Lily Joy!
