piñata

I am so glad we decided to get a piñata for Margo's party because it was a smash hit! (ha!) Here are some video's of the kids taking their turns...

taco 'bout a party

I love a good theme party and it helps that Margo loves tacos and nachos so, ¡voila! a theme was born: 

We invited family and our small group from church and she was surrounded by all the people she loves and who love her. It was a great day and she didn't seem to notice that everything was very taco and/or Mexican fiesta themed, but she certainly did love her tortilla chips and galletas (cookies)! After we ate taco's (obviously) the kids each got a turn to whack the (taco shaped) piñata. Somehow it worked out perfectly that each kid got two whacks and by the time it was Finley's turn, her second whack did it in and it dumped in spectacular piñata fashion. 

After the piñata, Margo opened presents and then we mingled until it was time for a siesta. It was such a fun party and reminder of how much she is loved by more than just Alex and I. We don't take for granted how important family is and that we both come from such wonderful families who always show up and love us so well. 

bestie birthday bash

On Margo's birthday, I decided to invite all of her little friends over for a playdate and for the mama's to chat and drink coffee. All of the kids played really well together and it was so much fun! At the end of the morning we decided to try to take a picture of them together and miraculously, we got a (relatively) good one!

I am so thankful to do life with all of these wonderful families and to get to raise our kids together. Staying home has the potential of being very isolating, but thankfully we're surrounded by such good, loving, gracious community. I don't know what we'd do without all of you!
