Our Neighbors know how to party!


Our neighbors next door are so nice!
They always invite us to the family events they have in their back yard. Now I am always up for a fun party - but these are a little out of my comfort zone because my neighbors all speak Spanish - they are from Mexico. Miss M adores the girls and they all play so well together. We have even met up at the pool with them. And their dad has helped me get my van unstuck many a times this past winter! (thanks Oscar!!)
This past Saturday their niece turned 4 years old and was baptized at their church. Afterwards they had a HUGE celebration in their back yard. Lots and lots of yummy HOT (as in spicy) food. And even though I could not understand the majority of what was being said around me, they all made us feel welcome and part of their family.
(I think that is what I love about the Hawaiians too, one big happy Ohana!)
The birthday girl wore this BEAUTIFUL princess dress, they had a jumpy jump and her cake was amazing. Oh and the pinata - it was BIGGER than Miss M and totally stuffed full! At one point the grandpa gathered all the kids, lined them up and started
throwing hand fulls of coins in the air.
A great time had by all! A true Fiesta!!
