Lucero turns 5!!!

We celebrated Lucero's 5th birthday in Harlingen, which is where her mom, Vanessa's family is from. Her great-aunts, Raquel and Petra, hosted, complete with a moon walk. Lucero dressed as the Barbie Island Princess (please let this Barbie phase pass quickly!). Lucero looked pretty darned cute, even if I could do without Barbie.

Here she is looking rather like Queen Elizabeth I, in my humble opinion.


Here she is blowing out the candles on her dinosaur cake. This year's party theme was "Princesses love dinosaurs and stars." And they do.


By the way, anyone looking for something to buy for a princess-obsessed kid should check out the book "Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?" My friend Kate got it for Lucero last year, and it rocks!
