Fiesta!

For Addison's 7th birthday last week, he requested we get a pinata. In Holland. They barely know what a burrito is here. Good luck finding a pinata!

So, what does a good mother do? Find a tutorial online for making one from scratch. It was really fun, actually, and Addison helped out. None of the kids at the birthday party had ever done a pinata before, so it was really nice.

Here's the birthday boy himself holding the goods.




And here it is after a good twenty whacks with a stick.


So, next time you are thinking of having a fiesta and you don't live anywhere near Mexico, just make your own. It can be done. Thankfully, we do have Corona here...

Adios!
