Cowabunga, Dudes!

 

My new favorite picture of my three mutants.

Pizza for our turtles, of course. 

 

Friends lovin on baby Yelly, who slept like a rock through all the ninja ruckus.

 

The cutest, tiniest ninja turtle.

 

No wait, here's the cutest, tiniest ninja. 

 

 

 

Seth cracked me up with all his perfect turtle poses. 

The highlight of the party had to be the piñata.  After way too much crafting with the turtle shells and masks, I was out of crafty mojo by the time I started working on the piñata, but it was still a big hit.  Jon and I also made Donatello's bow staff, Leonardo's sword, and Michelangelo's nun chucks for whacking.  The piñata turned out to be super heavy duty and took a long time to break open.  That was nice though, because everyone got plenty of turns.

Finally!  After everyone had three rounds it broke open!
