Lisa outdid herself again with this year's 4th Annual October Birthday Bash. Daniel and I share the same bday, along with several other friends and family members. So each year she picks a different theme to celebrate all of the birthdays. This year was a Cuban theme-from the colorful decor and the delicious food-everything was amazing. We ate empanadas, meat pies and potato balls for appetizers, along with yummy mojitos. Dinner was pork, beef and chicken with rice and black beans and some very tasty plantains. Very traditional and delicious.
The kids got a kick out of Pin the Tail on the Donkey(although I think there was a lot of cheating going on). Taylor was pretty dizzy after being spun around 8 times.
The cake was amazing. It was a traditional Cuban cake from Porto's Bakery in Burbank. It was a yellow cake filled with custard and guava and the top was marshmallow creme. So beautiful and yummy!
I think the kids are coming off of their sugar high after the pinata. Lisa enjoys all of the kiddos that keep growing so fast. Each birthday bash is a reminder of that.
The highlight of the evening was the salsa dancer who taught us the Meringue and the Cha Cha. Matt has always wanted to take lessons so we were ready. It was a lot of fun. We did better than we thought.
Finlay was quite the gentleman to Allison. I even heard he leaned in for a little smooch. They took their dancing very seriously and did quite well!
Taylor decided Dad was the best partner. What a cute way to end the evening. The dance instructor had so much energy and was great with all ages. Thank you Lisa and Daniel! We had a blast! Until next year....
