The reason for the trip north to Michigan this past weekend was to celebrate Gianna's birthday on Saturday. It was festive for a two year old's birthday and "big sis" Kiera gave an early toast for the occasion. Mind you, no need to worry over the glass contents. Kiera is the same 6 year old who favors a good steak, salmon, asparagus, broccoli - and here - it is a glass of blueberry, pomegranate juice. Kiera would say "here's to your good health too."
Then it was the birthday girl who was the center of attention on Saturday. Almost buried in packages of which she made quick work she was full of smiles.
From a pillow pet, this one a bumble bee,
to a sit and spin, she was spinning all day long. Rebbecca made the theme for the party "Crayons" and, as you see in the foregoing pic, Gianna was clutching her crayon box in one hand while opening most of her presents with the other. Also note the wrapping paper above with candles posing as crayons to the
Crayon styled rainbow cake which was then further decorated with a generous helping of hand made ice cream (actually custard) made by Aaron for all to eat.
A wonderful day with limitless frolicking (from a good Dutch word - vrolijk) which became lively even for the Irish among us. A little bit too lively with the grandchildren for which a vacuum was necessary. Is it any wonder why I choose to hide behind the camera?!
...til later...
