Siena's 3rd Birthday

This precious girl right here turned 3 at the end of October. I just love her.

Cat and Siena - sweet sisters!

Gramma Bev and baby sis Alana

Keeping with tradition, Siena's birthday party was again at Etsch Farms. They do an awesome job with parties and the place itself is beautiful. Somehow, each year the weather is great for Siena's day. Since her birthday is so close to Halloween, this year the kids were invited to wear costumes to the party. Marino loves any chance to dress up, so he was excited!

There was a pinata (which Marino had a difficult time pronouncing; he was cracking us up)

Pony rides

Hayrides/snuggle time with parents

Cupcakes and birthday songs

And of course, we all got lost in the corn maze!

Beautiful day with our beautiful friends. What more can we ask for?

Pacey's 4th Birthday

12 days after Marino turned 4, it was his cousin Pacey's birthday.
The two of them love each other, so we were very excited to celebrate with her. First up was playtime at a bounce house place.

How cute is she? Those eyes!

Baby sister Addie

Happy boy - he loves bounce houses more than anything!

The girls decided to make silly faces for the camera. I love it!

He thought air hockey was hysterical!

These two are great friends.

The next day was a family party for Pacey. We had lots of fun - Marino, Pacey and her best buddy, Reagan, always have fun together.

Happy 4th Birthday, Pacey!

July 3rd

We celebrated Marino's birthday so many times, I forgot to mention what we did on his actual birthday! Evan and I brought cupcakes to Marino's preschool in the morning. They have this whole little ceremony on the kid's birthdays where the parents come and show pictures of the kids from each year of their life. It was cute (Marino looked embarrassed).

After school and work, we headed over to the Rockville Town Center for Kid's Night. This week was a lizard show and we ran into some friends from school, which made it even more fun!

First our buddy Alex came by to say hi and wish Marino a happy birthday (and give him an awesome gift). So sweet!

Marino had a balloon sword fight with some friends from school...

Baby gator (cute!)

After the show, we met up with some friends and family and headed over to our favorite restaurant, Taste of Saigon.

We had some yummy food (pho/spaghetti soup for Marino), sang Happy Birthday, and Marino had an eggless cupcake.

We had a great time celebrating Marino's special day with our family and friends!

Marino's 4th Birthday Party

After a 6 day delay, we had Marino's rescheduled birthday party later the same week of the storm. We were fortunate that a lot of his friends were still able to attend. As expected, Marino had a great time. He requested this party specifically (at Pump It Up, a bounce house place). We did the "glow party" where they turn down the lights and give the kids glow in the dark necklaces (and a flashing LED wand for the birthday boy). About halfway through the party we ended up asking for the lights back on, since there were some falls in the more complicated bouncy houses).

All the kids seemed to enjoy themselves. Mine especially!

Here's some of the kids at the party: Sophia, Ariana, Pacifico, Aiden, Marino, Sydney, Carter and Ike. Aiden is the big brother of Marino's friend from school, Tommy, but the two of them get along famously.
