Sophia's 7th Birthday!

Sophia turned 7 this summer!  She celebrated by bringing a little bit of the tropics to Northern Virgina.

 

 

 

The birthday cupcake is a must on a Spencer birthday.  Though it is hard to muster a lot of enthusiasm at 7am!

 

 

 

Sophia woke up to a pile of gifts on the table.  Auntie Rah-Rah got her a Spa Barbie!

 

 

Yummy breakfast cupcakes.

 

 

Liliana enjoys these bite-sized gems of flavor.

 

 

Sophia gets a certificate for one (pair of) ear piercing.

 

 

We hit the movie theater to celebrate Sophia's birthday with her friends. 

 

 

First we get a tour of the projection room.

 

 

 

Then we gather to head in for the movie.

 

Gianni nestles himself between Liam and Genevieve.  They all ensured that they had plenty of popcorn and juice!

 

 

Sophia is excited that her cousins, Mike and Vin could be there, as well as her best friend Chiara.

 

 

Here is round two of birthday cake.

 

The kids help Sophia open her presents.

 

 

Sophia loves the jewelry-making kit she got.

 

 

American Girl tea party.

 

 

Why does Gianni ALWAYS look like the cat who at the canary?

 

 

Liliana hangs out with Daddy.

 

 

 

Who is having the best party ever?

 

 

 

Now, it is time for Sophia to get her ears pierced.  Here is the before picture.

 

 

 

Here is the "during" picture.  I think that is a fake smile on her face.

 

 

And finally the after picture.  The real smile is starting to come back!

 

Happy Birthday Sophia!
