When a little girl in San Angelo blew out her candles, she also blew away Selena fans everywhere with a birthday party fit for a Tejano queen.

“We created a mini Selena concert,” dad Alex Vega said, adding that his little girl kicked off her bash by teaching her friends how to pull of Selena’s famous dance move, “The Washer Machine.”
Alex Vega said he and his wife, Belinda, spent months and more than $500 perfecting their little girl’s big day.

A mini stage, Selena performer, rose-embellished cake, replica of the star’s most-famous ensemble and a piñata (which none of the little girls wanted to leave a dent in,) completed the festivities at the Vega household.
The Vegas said some of the little party guests didn’t know who Selena was before Ayvah’s birthday, but they all left their home dancing and singing along with her songs.
“It kind of felt like you were at one of Selena’s concerts,” Alex Vega said. “It was so loud in there but the girls loved it.”

Ayvah was the most pleased with her party. Her family said her obsession with the star, who was tragically killed more than 20 years ago, began at the start of this school year after she found a YouTube video of a Selena performance and was immediately enamored.
“For two months straight, her alarm was ‘Bidi Bidi Bom Bom.’ I came to work singing it,” Ayvah’s dad joked. “We introduced her to the movie and she’s probably watched it 1o0 times — if it’s not being played in the house, it’s being played in the car.”

Like her idol, the 6-year-old already has an impressive schedule of dancing, singing, cheerleading, gymnastics and impromptu talent shows in her living room whenever she has free time.
“Our little girl has always been a performer since the age of 2, she’s always dancing and singing for us,”Alex Vega said. “There’s just something about (Ayvah), when you put her on stage, she just switches.”
The Vegas said they never expected the photos of Ayvah’s party to extend further than their family members, but fans as far as London have reacted to the original Facebook post.
“To see it carry on to others — I think that was really neat,” Alex Vega added.
