Fab Four

We set the bar fairly high at her first birthday party, what with the Mariachi band and the pinata (for a one year old?!). Every year since "Viva la Mazlyn" has had a costume theme. There was Mazzy Gras for birthday number two, and the third was a Luau.

We had to wait until she was four, though, to have the "Mazical Mystery Tour." The ultimate costume party, where everyone dressed as a Beatles song. And even though some weren't that familiar with the Fab Four's repertoire, they all came through in fine style.

Mostly we just use her birthday as another excuse to dress up, but come on, it's a brilliant party theme. I don't know how we're going to top this next year.
