Happy 1st Birthday Ana Paola!!!!!
On Saturday, my sweet cousin Ana Paola turned 1 year old. Paola lives right next door to us, so she always comes over to play and every so often we try to have some english lessons too...haha. For her first Birthday, she was baptized in the catholic church early in the morning, and then spent her afternoon partying it up with over 150 family and friends. I was so excited to get to go to her party that was just as grand as some weddings I have been to.
Paola's cake was bigger than her, about the size of a park bench. It was tres leches cake, layered with pecans, and fruit and frosted with a sweet whipped cream. (I can't lie, tres leches is not really my favorite thing in the world, kinda soggy)
She blew out her Dora candle, and then later on started eating it when we were playing...Sorry Dora, your waxy head just looks so edible to a 1 year old.
As tradition goes, even babies get their face pushed in their birthday cakes...just a little for fun.
Then she got to cut her cake with her Daddy, and then we all gobbled down more cake than necessary, along with some peach jello (yucky peach jello that Mexicans love for some reason..).
Here are my host sisters, Elly and Viviana, right before we got wild dancing with with Paola!
Thanks Paola for being so cute and entertaining so many mornings before I go to school! She is such a sweet little girl, and she did not cry once during her 8 hour party...what a trooper. I am trying to get Paola to pick up on some english before she starts to talk...but shes better at just giggling.
Happy Birthday and Baptism Day to you Pao Pao!
