quito - part 6 - 'afia's bday

This past Saturday was Emilia's cousin's birthday party. Sofia (or 'afia as Emi calls her) turned 3 and, unfortunately, had a raging fever the day of the party so she was not to thrilled with all the festivities. Emilia, on the other hand, had a grand time playing with all the kids, jumping in the bounce house, and spending time with 6 of her cousins. The rain held off until the bitter end when it was time for one and all to hit the road.

pre-party primping - trying to do pincurls (didn't work) while brushing her teeth.

bounce house fun - even though she was the youngest there Emi was not afraid of joining in the fun (prima/cousin Ana Victoria in background).
the tios have a great dollhouse/playhouse built on the property. emilia would run back and forth from it and bring "meals" to different people. thrilled that tio esteban (her godfather) is playing along and "enjoying" his juice and fried egg.

same idea, different person - this time with tio beto.

swinging with Ana V.

the biker gang - juan esteban & lucas in background (more cousins).

leave it to Emi to find the babydolls.

lined up to get something from the "fairy" - notice how much smaller Emi is than everyone else. Ma. Claudia in pink, Ana V. in yellow (cousins).


the game the fairy was explaining - they had to crawl through the tubes and collect the balls (?)

best way to end a party - lollipop, goody bag full of fake jewelry.
