A Mexican Birthday Party

Oliver (red shirt) and his cousin (white shirt) put their faces into their birthday cake after the candles are out. They are supposed to do this. Jody and I continue to learn about Latin American traditions. Oliver attends Spanish Immersion in Richfield with Antonio and Crystel - the party started at 4pm. We arrived at 4pm. Later we were told - "You should have told the white people to come later." We now understand that birthday parties are similar to open houses. The cake was cut at 8pm. Guess what - we outlasted the other white people. Do not mess with the Pinata's. They are serious about their Pinata's.
