Anthony's Birthday Party

 As you can tell from the cake picture, Anthony had a Harry Potter birthday party!  I made the cake myself, I'm still quite proud of it.

  His party was your basic party at the park.  Despite scheduling it for the hottest day of the year, everyone had a great time.

  I had a custom pinata made, meant to be the Golden Snitch.  Anthony originally didn't want a snitch pinata.  The Golden Snitch, you see, is a VERY tiny quidditch ball, and he wanted his pinata to be BIG.  One we clarified that he could have a BIG Golden Snitch, Anthony was fully onboard with the idea.

  The pinata store made our pinata especially rugged.  After each kid had several turns, Bob went at the pinata as the children all cheered him on.  It was really quite funny.  Evidently it made quite an impression.  The majority of the kids wrote their Monday essay at school about Anthony's Daddy breaking open the pinata.
