We were about 15 minutes outside of San Francisco and we debated if we should turn around and go back home. We decided that we would continue on and have the weekend of our lives so we could tell Melissa what a great time we had on the day of her birth and how we would always remember it!
That was three years ago, how time fly's!
So today, I'm joining up with Mary at Little Red House for her Mosaic Monday, and with Sally at Smiling Sally for her Blue Monday.
I've used photos from Melissa's birthday party on Saturday to make my mosaic. This is my first one ever and I had already done it when I noticed that Mary had a tutorial on her blog on how to do them. So next one will be perfect, this one is a beginners mosiac :-) But anything is beautiful if Melissa is in it.
In the first picture Melissa is hitting her Pinata. This is a Mexican tradition. The Pinata is a cardboard covered papier mache candy and toy holder. The children take turns whacking the pinata with a big stick until it breaks and candy scatters all over the ground and they swoop in and grab it all up. We usually start with the birthday girl and then the smallest to the biggest child gets their turn.The second picture is of Melissa giving a big hug to her cousin Isabel. Isabel was in awe of Melissa's Snow White costume. Melissa's mom is lucky that Melissa's birthday dress serves double duty as a Halloween costume as well!
Melissa had two pinata's this birthday. Apparently her mom bought her a Snow White Pinata and Melissa didn't want to break that one, so the third picture is of her sitting next to the pinata she did not want to break.
The final picture is of Melissa with her mother, Norma. Norma was reading to her the birthday card that her Nana (my mom) gave her. We had a great time. Norma always has way too much delicious food.
So that's it. Be sure to pop over to visit Mary at Little Red House for her Mosaic Monday, and with Sally at Smiling Sally for her Blue Monday.
