Sophia's 4th birthday party

What a special day this was.  Marta made the most awesome chocolate cupcakes and I had an Etsy artist make the cupcake tops:) We had a waterslide in the backyard, Tutu's Hawaiian making shaved ice, a jumper in the garage, and a sand necklace making table.  The kids definitely were not at a loss for activities.  It's so hard to put into words all the emotions we feel with our baby girl turning 4.  She is our first born and we've learned so many amazing things on this journey so far.  Thank you Miss Phia for being so very patient with mommy and daddy as we learn along with you each day.  You have such an engaging personality and an overwhelming love of life.  We joke that you wake up so early each day because you are just THAT excited for the day to start and don't want to miss a thing.  You are our little energizer bunny and when your'e not packing your bags for a pretend "adventure" you're telling us stories about an enchanted forest that often involves a princess and a witch!  You are the sweetest angel and we love every moment we get to spend with you. 

Presto got his cast off the day before Phia's party.  Just in time to swim!!

Our amazing nanny Leyla...not sure what we'd do without her.  She is a member of our family and loveso our kids like they're her own.  She's also wearing the dress we bought her in Maui:)
