Picnic Brunch Third Birthday Blast

This was a special, intimate day for us. We celebrated Paloma's third birthday with some twenty friends and family at the beautiful Parc de la Ciutadella. It was sunny and warm, but we picked a spot under a large magnolia tree to give us some shade. With the breeze, it was perfect! We brought our food, drinks and some fun. Come on in!

Marking our territory with overgirliness.

Angel and Fernando pause for a snapshot.

Pino does some light workout picking up two toddlers.

Bubbles! Giant bubble makers are all around the park.

Viola got a chance to make some gigantoid spherical wonders.

Cake time! A chocolate cake baked, frosted, and decorated with sticky sweet love.

I finally found the birthday cake hat locally! Paloma poses with a few friends.

"Count 'em, that's three!"

The busy crowd gets ready for the huge blowout.

Chip-eating girls look on as it took about ten minutes to get these candles lit on this breezy day.

She wished, she blew, and now it's ready to cut!

But wait, a quick pose with the visiting abuelos.

Presents time!

A jump rope...not sure if they got the concept.

My daughter gets strangled a bit, but that's cool.

Thanks for looking, friends!
