  • As I said a post or two previous to this one, Brianna's just turned
    five years old, and today was her party.  Various family members
    gathered at a park in Hurst to munch chicken and cupcakes, play
    pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, take some whacks at a Spongebob pinata, and
    just generally goof around:

    Never did hear what my brother, Louis, was expounding about to Dmitry.

    Bethany's turn to try to pin the tail on the donkey.

    Brianna has a try at the pinata, as Bethany watches.

    Bethany's dad, Matt, takes a crack at it, though with Jason raising and lowering it, it wasn't easy.

    Dmitry has a try, after much urging by other family members.

    It was a stubborn critter, but eventually spilled out its contents of candy and toys.

    Then it was on to cake and presents!

    Hooray!  An "Annie" DVD to replace the one lost since her last birthday. 

    Jonathan and Dmitry demonstrated there's lots of good, wet fun to be
    had with bottled water as they took turns splashing each other.

    An excellent party.  ;^)
