Leah's Lunch Party

We decided to have a Sunday lunch party for a change this year. Leah could not decide between a Dora cake and a My Little Pony cake, so we combined the themes. She was thrilled.
When Seth turned 3 we had a pinata, so we decided to do the same for Leah. It was filled to the brim with candy, fruit snacks and toys.
I wanted to make sure the kids weren't running wild in the house so I planned a craft and a couple of games to keep them entertained and busy.
Leah definitely did not want to be the center of attention and wasn't thrilled with the number of pictures I wanted to take of her.
I found a "pin the bracelet" on Dora game so that was good for some laughs and the kids really seemed to have fun with it. Lexy was the big winner, being closest to Dora's arm.

It was so funny spinning the kids around with a blind fold on.
Linds tried to cheat and what a kissable face on her.
Lastly, we hung the pinata and gave the kids a real bat. What were we thinking? They had a blast and the only casualty was Uncle Brad. Seth accidentally swung and hit him pretty hard. He felt so awful.
The smiles on these kids makes it so worth all the time and planning.
We even gave the littlest munchkin a bat.
Leah took it all in and wanted the candy the most.
After about 25 hits it finally let loose and there was mass chaos, laughter and smiles all around. It was priceless.
At the end Leah could care less about the cake itself, she wanted to eat the ponies head. Hysterical.
Thank you to everyone who came and made it super special for Leah. She has a brand new summer wardrobe, a back pack for Nursery School in the fall, a bike helmet to go with her big girl bike and so much more. We are blessed. Thank you so much.
Thank you also to Lorraine for the beautiful cake.
