Marisol's Birthday

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARISOL!
Marisol had her 10th birthday on July 3rd.  I am now a mom of two 10 year olds, wow!  Soon Omar and Marisol will be starting their last year of elementary school.  They aren't so little any more!

We started off with celebrating Marisol's birthday and Father's Day with a family party on my side.  Her grandparents, aunts and uncles know her so well.  She is such a joy to have in our family!

 Marisol's birthday started of with a yummy breakfast of sweet pork quesadillas, fresh strawberries, and apple juice.  She wanted to go to the pool as a family, so we make cupcakes with blue frosting and fishy sprinkles.
 Marisol decided to open presents before the pool.  It was a very High School Musical birthday!
 Marisol loves singing along to the music and watching the movies and learning the dance moves.
 Believe it or not, we sang Happy Birthday to Marisol, blew out candles and enjoyed a cupcake before the pool.
 Aunt Maren came and stayed with us to celebrate Marisol's birthday!  It's always fun to have her come and stay with us.
 Marisol choose to go to dinner at Cafe Sabor.  It is a family favorite Mexican restaurant.
 After dinner, our county does the big firework display on the 3rd.  So we headed to the university to find a spot outside the stadium to enjoy the show.  We played games as we waited for the sky to become dark.
 We put Eric in charge of holding our spots while we went on a walk to pass the time.
 Marisol's big day ended with a fantastic display of fireworks and music.  The girl was so tired on her action packed day, that she fell asleep during the fireworks.  How does that happen?  All in all, it was a perfect birthday for Marisol!
