Our first cousin's first birthday

Super Nico, Collin and Maya's only first cousin, celebrated his first birthday with a super hero party.  It was Maya's first time to meet some of the family, so she was busy visiting aunts, uncles and cousins, while Collin ran around like a super maniac hero!

Here are the super cousins, Collin and Nico.

This is what happened to the birthday boy when his dad set him down -

Nico had to wake up from his nap to attack the piñata and blow out his birthday candles, so he was a little sleepy for the second half of the party -

 

This was Collin's first piñata experience that he remembers, and when he heard it was filled with candy, he couldn't wait for the piñata breaking to begin!  He was as intense as could be with his powerful hits, but one of Nico's older cousins was the one to break it open.

The birthday boy got some help from his dad -

Over-tired Nico was not amused as his pockets were stuffed with candy he can't yet eat -

We had a great time celebrating Nico's first birthday and catching up with Cas' family!
