Saturday I had the pleasure to decorate and do the sweets table for Davi's 3rd birthday. The theme: Carosuel. Not any carousel but one inspired on a recent family vacation to Paris...Davi's Mommy determined that her son would be as thrilled with his party as he was riding the carousel. Round and round. Colorful. Fun. Hoping the ride will never stop.

Feliz Aniversário Davi!

Our neighbor Gabriel turned 9 at the bowling alley...a fun alternative idea for birthday celebration. I am sure he bowled many strikes on his happy day.
Happy Birthday Gabriel!

Gingerbread House for Miguel and Alexia

Gabriëlle sent me the first photo...sweet memories of her childhood. An inspiration for her son Miguel and daughter Alexia's (5 and 3) birthday party. There would be no cake....

A Hansel and Gretel (Jõao e Maria in Portuguese) theme for the celebration: complete with a storyteller, and the children attacking the house after "Happy Birthday". I am told there were mere crumbs remaining on the sweets table.

Happy Birthday Miguel and Alexia!

November 6th is also the anniversary of Vovó Vera e Bisavô "Co" (Grandma Vera and Great Grandma Co). Sebastian was born on a lucky day.

Georgia helped "glue" the butterflies on the cake. And, naturally, her Grandma let her blow out the candles.

Happy Birthday Grandmothers!

In one year...

I was worried when when I was expecting my second child. I actually wondered if my heart had room for more love.

I cannot explain how much it has stretched in a year. Bursting.

Happy First Birthday, Sebastian. You complete our family.
