Janiah & Jaden Are 5 Years Old!

This is a pic of my cousins, Janiah & Jaden. They are twins and their 5th birthday was on July 3rd. Today, they had a big birthday party at their grandparents' house and my Pop-Pop and Grammy took me there so I could celebrate with them.

A lot people came out to wish them a "Happy Birthday". I also got a chance to see some of my other cousins... Laila, Nailah, Samaya, and Troy, Jr. were there. The yard was filled with all kinds of "water fun" things to do and other cool stuff. We even had surprise visits from Elmo, SpongeBob SquarePants, Pooh, and Bozo The Clown!

There was also something called a "pinyata" hanging from a tree. It looked like the fish in Finding Nemo and it was filled with candy. I watched while the older kids took turns using something called a "cane" to hit the pinyata as hard as they could until all the candy fell out. When it did, all the kids dropped to the ground and tried to pick up as much candy as their hands would hold.

Then, it was time to sing the "Happy Birthday" song to Janiah & Jaden. They also had another cousin sitting with them who was celebrating a 4th birthday. After that, we watched all three of them make a wish and blow out the candles on their cakes. When they finished, the cakes were cut and everybody got a piece to eat. We even got "party bags" to take home. I know that the "birthday kids" had a great time and the rest of us did too!
