Nikolas' Birthday Party

We had a birthday party for Nikolas with family and friends a few days after Nikolas' birthday. Our friend Manuel made pork tacos (super yummy). Dillon played "Happy Birthday" on his guitar. With a little influence from his Papi, Nikolas picked out a Sponge Bob cake. This last year we have been to a TON of birthday parties, mostly for the kids in our branch, but it seems that everyone always has a pinata. Nikolas has become a pinata fanatic. Whenever I would tell him we were going to a birthday party he would say, "pam, pam...candies" (referring to the pinata). He never dares hit them, but he loves when everyone else does and he LOVES getting candy. At first he would run and grab one or two pieces (whatever he could fit in his two little hands). But over time he has learned to grab "muchos candies" and shove them in his bag and run for more. Anyway, Cristian made Niko a really cool Sponge Bob pinata! He really did a good job! (see pics below) Niko still didn't dare hit it, but he enjoyed watching everyone, even his aunts, take a swing at it and especially loved filling his bag with candy, with a lot of help from Uncle Nate!
Tuvimos un cumpleanos para Nikolas con unos amigos y mi familia algunos dias despues de su cumple. Nuestro amigo, Manuel hizo unos tacos de chancho bien ricos! Y Dillon toco "Feliz cumpleanos" con su guitarra. Con un poco de influencia de su Papi, Niko eligio una torta de Sponge Bob. Ultimamente hemos ido a un monton de fiestas de cumpleanos de nenes de nuestra rama. Pero siempre en cada una hay una pinata. Niko se hizo fanatico de las pinatas! Cada vez que le decia que ibamos a una fiesta de cumpleanos siempre decia "pam, pam...candies" (refiriendose a las pinatas). No le gusta pegarlas, pero le gusta ver como todos los otros la pegan y correr a traer caramelos! Al principio corria y traeia lo que le entraba en las dos manitos. Pero despues aprendio a agarrar "muchos candies," ponerlos en su bolsa y correr por mas. Cristian le hizo una pinata muy buena de Sponge Bob! Le salio de 10! Niko todavia no se animaba pegarla, pero le gusto verlos a todos los otros, aun sus tias, tratar de pegarla y le encanto llenar su bolsa de caramelos, con mucha ayuda del tio Nate!
