Jasmine and Alexander Birthday Party

Jasmine turned 5 and Alex turned 2 years old. Unfortunately for them, with their birthdays six days apart, they get a shared big family birthday. This year, we had a smores party.


This is Jasmine's preschool teacher, Mrs. Sara, being dressed up by the girls and Alfred. Jasmine is on the left with the sparkly earings. Kate is next to her. Kate is in Jasmine's class. Sarah is in red on the right. She is Jasmine's best friend. Alfred is the blonde boy. He is Sarah's brother. Lanie is on the bottom with the red ribbon in her hair. She was in Jasmine's class last year.

This is my cousin, Renito, hacking away at a block of wood with a machete. Nice kids party, eh? He is trying to help start a fire for the smores. It did not go well for a while. Evidently, we were supposed to start the fire before the party -- not during. While there was a danger that there would be no smores at the smores party, they did finally begin about 20 minutes before the party theoretically ended. We were never good with time, anyway.

Here is a crowd of people helping out with the fire in the fire pit. You can see the smoke.

Here are the grandmas -- Grammie and Memere.

Here are the grandpas -- Grandpa and Abuelo.
