Happy Birthday, Nana!

A fun addition to our regular Friday night Mi Cocina dinner was a birthday party for Nana!!!  The boys were so excited to help get everything ready for Nana's party.  We spent FOREVER at Target picking out just the right plates, napkins and party hats.  They really debated over whether Nana liked Cars, Thomas the Train or silly monkey party wear.  In the end, the monkeys won!  We brought lots of goodies to share after a yummy dinner.  I think Nana was surprised when we opened our party bag!  Linc was so proud of Nana's "birthday girl" ribbon that he picked out for her.  
Beau was a little hesitant about the hat at first.  He was mostly focusing on the napkin because on the way to Target the other day, Lincoln assigned Beau the responsibility of carrying the napkins.  Beau remembered his important job keeping the napkins, and he held on to his tightly for a few minutes!  I did get him to wear his hat for a bit. 
The boys got to carry the balloons in (sort of) by themselves.  They each got a birthday balloon and mylar balloon clipped on their shirts so they wouldn't blow away.  They loved the balloons!!  Marte and Scooter were hidden behind the balloons for my party pics! 
I picked up the most fabulous cake balls from Toni Rivard's (Preston/Royal) store.  They were super yummy, and I'm glad I got a few extra to take home! 
We all sang Happy Birthday to Nana and enjoyed our special treat, and Linc and Nana (and Mommy) were still in our party hats.   
It was a fun Friday night birthday party for Nana!  Fabulous friends and family, super yummy cake balls, special balloons and party plates/napkins.  We should celebrate birthdays at Mi Cocina more often!!!
