Raya turned three! She had a beautiful princess themed party, and as a funny coincidence we noted that at least 4 of the moms wore black T-shirts – maybe as a subconscious answer to too much princess stuff in our daughters lives… <\/p>\n

Raya blew all candles out at once!

Leilani started out nicely, eating like a big girl with a spoon.

The cake was really tasty.

Raya went first, then everybody got a turn with the piñata. To my surprise Leilani was happy to hit it (after seeing the other girls do it too)<\/font>—I suppose the reason was that it was a heart with printed princesses, and not in the shape of a princess, unlike the Elmo piñata a long time ago. The sad irony is that this was a “violence-free” piñata: the children are supposed to pull the ribbons to open it up, and hitting it did nothing.<\/font>

Loot!

Opening presents:

A Bye-Bye hug for Zen!
