today we are celebrating my youngest daughter's birthday. her birthday is a few days after christmas, so we decided to have a summer birthday for her so she doesn't miss out. my side of the family is coming out to our house today. we split up the parties by family because there are a lot of people combined.

rin and i had already stuffed the piñata the other day and now we are preparing the food. the dog got bathed and the patio cleaned off. fiesta time is almost upon us...
