Luca was a big helper leading up to his party, dusting with the wand from the vacuum cleaner (the only non-scary part of it) and making decorations for the cupcakes Uncle Dan brought.

Naturally, I made cookies. They turned out pretty cute too! I didn't actually eat any, but lots of people took home leftovers, much to Josh's disappointment--less for him!

With our birthdays not that long ago, Luca had become a pro at blowing out candles and he was very excited for his chance! We had to do it twice because he blew out the first one faster than people had their cameras ready. Which was just fine with him =) And we switched out his pretty candle cupcake for one without frosting when he started eating, so he managed to avoid itchy face. Win Win!
It was wonderful getting to see and chat with all of our family, plus Alan surprised me by bringing my Kindergarten teacher too. Last year Kimmer surprised me, this year Mrs Simpson, wonder who the surprise guest will be next year!
We are excited to start planning for Luca's new wooden swing set. The "garden" needs to be torn out of the backyard and we need to buy lots of lumber, but we are waiting for the weather to cooperate. I am really looking forward to being able to send the kid and the dog in the backyard and letting them play without being at the park and having to keep a close eye on Luca and a leash on Jude. It's gonna be a good summer. =)
This year we also had a surprise for everyone else. The last present Luca opened from Josh and I was a t-shirt that said "Big Brother." We're expecting a little one in September! We are all very excited!
Thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate Luca's Birthday!
