Birthdays All around

Happy Birthday Sophia (3) and Gianni (1)! We celebrated by welcoming Daddy home. We also had a wonderful party with so many family and friends to make the day special.






We start by looking at the end of the day first...here is the happy, tired family (so tired in fact, that Gianni couldn't quite keep his eyes open to be in this picture). How did they get this way you ask?



We had lots of party-goers.


They made the kids do tricks...here Gianni is performing for the family.



Sophia and Gianni had lots of gifts to open...with a bit of help from Nana.




And they had to show off their new gifts.




See how many gifts there were!!!



We had to smile for the camera.



And eat our cake.



We had to do this delicately, without making a mess.



Well, we gave it the good ol' college try.




We had to pull the pinata and frantically grab for candy.




We had to run and fall on the slip and slide.



We had to be held and cuddled by people who love us.




We had to sun ourselves and chat with our good friends.



Some of us even had to fall asleep.



We had to pose for pictures.



And more pictures.



We had to swing, slide, and just generally be merry.



We had to get doted on by our Grammie and Nonni.



And Mimi, Nana, and Daddy!


We had to do all of this while singing and laughing.
Wouldn't you be tired too???!!!
Thank you to everyone for making our birthday party so much fun!
Love,
Sophia and Gianni
