I spent the week before Sadie's birthday talking to her about birthdays and reading her a book about a birthday party in an attempt to prepare her. Juan and I were really excited for her birthday this year. We woke her up singing Happy Birthday which made her grin from ear to ear.
The theme for the party was "Down on the Farm" since she loves animals so much. We hired a petting zoo to entertain the 20 some kids. We were debating about having it but in the end we are so glad we went for it! The family Juan found on Cragslist who runs the zoo does it on the side with farm animals they rescued and now raise on their farm! This made it way more affordable for us and what a great cause to support. Here are some pictures from Sadie's birthday party.

She was a little nervous petting the animals at first...
...but by the end of it she was running around on her own!
Having fun with Babcia...
...and Maddy
She was so excited about her cake and candles but like last year she was a bit shy and overwhelmed with all the attention (there were 30 people waiting for her reaction). She kind of looked down the whole time.
I love our little family :)

All in all she had a fabulous party! She got a lot of nice things. Thanks to everyone for their generosity.
Everything about this post is adorable. Matus, Sadie with the animals, you as a cow girl, the familia. Great job Yvonne and Juan!
