A Birthday Execution

I thought it best to celebrate Sara's 28th birthday by way of a group papier mache penguin execution. The arctic victim was stuffed full of candy and prizes, put into a box, and wrapped up so he couldn't get away. Sara wasn't very excited about beating the poor little guy, but after a minimal amount of coaxing, her mind was changed, and we strung him up on the basketball standard to await his demise. I believe it was Bryson that delivered the fatal blow, and I was very disappointed to see that none of my kin jumped to the floor to pick apart the carcass. The whole point of having a pinata in the first place was to hear the clunking noise of heads colliding while the candy is collected. Fortunately for the penguin, it was a super cold day outside so that he could enjoy his last moments in his native climate. Our little Zoe was very concerned about the penguin's recovery after his injury, she actually asked if he'd be okay. Sadly, he didn't pull through, but we were all grateful for his martyrdom, as it provided us an abundance of Kit Kat bars and parachute guys. Happy Birthday Sara!
