A Forsberg Family Tradition - Beating The Piņata 

I have written before about the odd tradition and socialization of our children concerning the senseless beating of animals (at least paper mache ones.) 

See my social commentary under: Pinata

Beating a piņata is one of the best traditions we have going in America or at least in our family.  

This year, a yellow bear was the victim.

Even the bigger kids (in this case Andrew) got a chance to beat the piņata.

Finally, it was a free for all as the piņata was pulverized and beaten senseless.
