marty's b-day

our big boy just turned 3! marty's birthday is on christmas, so its kind of a tough situation to get his birthday stuff in with all the christmas goings on. but, somehow we managed it. when i asked marty what he wanted for his birthday, he said that he wanted a lightning mc queen cake and party hats for all his friends. poor little boy doesn't have any friends...i felt aweful! but, lucky for him, he has about 30 cousins! so, he had a lightning mc queen cake (i made it, and i am quite proud of myself), a pinata (he looks so little next to that thing!), and cars plates, a banner, and a table cloth. i could not find those stink'n hats anywhere! we do christmas with juan's fam on christmas eve, so it makes his birthday its own thing. it was fun. don't feel too bad that he has to share his birthday with christmas...i think he got almost too much stuff! (granted that most if it was from the dollar store...) but all in all, it was a great birthday!
