Happy Birthday, Diego!



Celebrating the big number 3!

We had Diego's party at my parents house in Kyle this year. Their place is perfect for a party because there is so much room for the kids to run around and play. Diego picked out his cake back in July when he was staying with my parents and he picked out a fire truck themed cake, so that's what we went with. I found the cutest plates and pinate at Party city and my parents spent all of August and the first part of September getting the house ready for the party. They were so excited and wanted it to be perfect for him. My dad found a horse trainer to get the horse ready for giving the kids rides, he cleaned and painted the playhouse and my mom just went all out on the food planning.

On the way to Kyle, I was crossing my fingers and toes, hoping that it wouldn't rain. For some reason it ALWAYS rains during the middle of September in Kyle. Sure enough, once we hit Georgetown, dark clouds rolled in and it rained all evening Friday. Ugh! But we woke up to bright skies (but lots of humidity) on Saturday and I just prayed that the rain would wait until AFTER the party. Once 11:00 rolled around, the fun started complete with a hay ride, playing in the playhouse and surprise visit from the Kyle Fire Department!!! It was so awesome to see the huge fire truck in my parent's driveway.
We had a blast with the pinata. My Sophia was the one who broke the pinate... I was so proud of her! She told me later, "Mommy, I really wanted that candy. That's why I broke it!" That's my sugar monkey!

At the end of a very looong party, the clouds came in and it started to rain. How thankful we were that God heard my prayers and held the rain until the last guest left. The kids came in, took a bath and just relaxed. Sweet Carlos passed out! It was his first family function at the Tobias ranch and he was passed from aunt to aunt like a little football. To say he was exhausted is an understatement! We had a blast celebrating my little fireman. I hope he knows just how much I love celebrating his special day!
