Birthday Party Fun

Talking to Grandma and Grandpa A (in Italy) on the computer via skype
Cara sitting next to her birthday cake!

Blowing out the candles

It was almost painful to Mommy to have to cut up her masterpiece

But it was worth it because Cara loved her cake and ice cream

Yummy!

Cara was blessed with so many wonderful gifts, including this medical kit from Uncle Joe, Aunt Amy, Vince and Charlotte

And this talking/cooing doll from Dendra and Zaina

She also got this big wheel from Aunt Cyndi and Uncle Danilo. They also had a Doodlebop Keytar send to Cara (just like Dee Dee Doodle's) and Cara opened it one day while they were on skype so they could see her reaction

This castle balloon fit the theme perfectly

She got this adorable Snow White dress from Uncle Mike, Aunt Lisa, Dillon and Oscar. I think we may have her halloween costume :)

Getting hugs from her best buddy Zaina


We took over a hundred pictures during the party, so I had to pick just a handful to post on the blog. We had such a great day! Cara was surrounded by friends and family and loved being the center of attention. We were able to skype with the family in Italy which made it seem like they were here! We walked around with the laptop and showed them the food, cake, presents, guests, and most importantly the birthday Princess! She enjoyed playing in her new kitchen with all her cousins. She got lots of great presents- some new clothes for the fall, a Mrs Potato Head, a couple of books, puzzles, her first Webkinz, as well as the things already mentioned with the pictures! We had such a fun day!

What a party! Thanks for making us a part of being there. It was really hard to be so far away on Cara's birthday. It felt like we were there, and we were.
We really like the photo of her skyping with us. How excited she looks seeing us. Will be home soon and catch up on some play, hug, and snuggle time.
Love,
Grandma & Grandpa A
