PARTY!!!
The party was FANTASTIC. It was such a success! I bet there was 150-200 people there!
The morning started out hectic!!! Me and Jose left early to go buy some last minute things we needed for the party. While we were gone, Diana came to pick up Isabel and get her ready for the mass. When me and Jose got home, he took off again, while I took off with his neice to Gordmans so she could exchange a blouse she had bought that was too small, and we ran over to Wal-Mart so I could buy Olivia a dress for the party. I also ended up buying her a pair of beautiful hoop earrings, but she's already lost one!
Anyway...
We got home, and got ourselves ready, and headed over to the church. It was just Jose, me, and Karina, since Jose's Mom stayed home to cook the food and his brother's were working. Once Diana and her family showed up with Izzy, I wanted to cry!!! Izzy looked so gorgeous! The church part was pretty quick. A short explination, and the Deacon "blessed" her with holy water.
After church, it was run, run, run all over again!!! It seemed like we had a bajillion things to do in such a little amount of time! Me and Diana showed up at the hall at 4, and decorated like crazy! Everything looked so pretty! We bought pink and green table clothes, and pink and green streamers. It looked so festive! Jose showed up with the keg, cake, and food, so we started serving salsa into bowls and placing them on all of the tables. We also set out sodas and salt shakers on every table.
At five on the dot, the first guests arrived! From there, things got CRAZY BUSY! LoL! We were serving food like crazy! I didn't know I was such a good waitress!
As people started getting down eating, and the flow of guests slowed down, we started worrying about the pinata. It was FREEZING out! So... we had the two tallest guys stand on chairs, and hang the pinata between the two of of them! LoL. Izzy was a little hesitant at first, but quickly warmed up to the pinata idea! She had a blast whacking at it! LoL. After her, we let the kids hit it in order of size. When the busted the pinata, Izzy DOVE into the pile!!! LoL. I was amazed! She was fighting as good as the other kids for her share of the candy!! When she filled her fists, she ran over to my Mom to "unload" and she dove right back into the madness! Livie was sleeping in a corner on a pile of jackets at this point! LoL. I had the kids hurry and line up for the goody bags, and all 60 of them were gone in SECOND! A few kids didn't get one, but others were more than happy to share.
We did the cake after the party. I bought a HUGE-O Dora cake, and only a few pieces were left! YAY! LoL.
After the cake, it was DANCE TIME! That was probably around 9:30pm. I had LONG since taken off my shoes! My poor feet were KILLING me!!!
I was so happy to see people dancing and having fun!!! Me and Jose danced ALL night!!! YAY! Izzy (and Livie once she woke up) just played all night! Everyone seemed to be having a bunch of fun! :)
It was a very, very fun night! And Izzy got some awesome gifts! :)
That's all for now. I'll update again later! =D
