Happy Birthday Maile!

On Sunday we headed out to the heat of Antioch to celebrate Maile's 5th birthday at a park. Luckily, they held the party in the evening so we weren't hanging out in 100+ degrees.

Taking a tip from Brooke and Marco, Nikos splits a swing with cousin Kira.

Apparently, the birthday must-have for this age (and the last few) is a pinata. Here is Maile attempting to bust open the dinosaur.

Here's a shot after the kids scrambled for their loot. Hopefully I get all the names right: Maile, Sarah, Ella, Marisa, Emily, Mason, Ethan and Caden. My apologies for misspellings.

Nikos watches patiently as Maile opens presents.

Maile uses the dinosaur bath toy as a bribe to get Niko to crawl.

Nikos was pretty impressed with Mason.
