Yesterday Elena turned seven--and she's having a bird-and-other-animals party on Saturday with bird cupcakes.  She's in love with colors and with her new cockatiel Paco.  As I might have expected, she chose the rainbow for her piñata.  She plans to have a rainbow colored car as her first car.  She's my girl!

As they were leaving the Fiesta store, they saw some apartment buildings painted with bright colors.
Her mom said, "I like those but I never would have thought of painting those particular colors."

"I would," Elena said.  "That's how Yenna and I think!"
