Qué te parece si vienes a mi casa este sábado?
Mi hijo está cumpliendo aňos y quiero
celebrarle su cumpleaňos.
Quebraremos una piñata, comeremos tamales y

También puedes traer a tus amigos.
Es una fiesta para niňos pero vendrán muchos adultos. Estoy segura de que pasaremos un buen tiempo
y así tus amigos podrán ver lo que es una piňata.
