Festa Junina 2008
While I’m more or less on the subject, I thought I’d dig up some photos from the Festa Junina at Carolina’s school, Escola Parque, this year. The idea is to dress in a sort of tacky country style, and she fit right in with her colorful skirt one size too small, fake freckles and pigtails. There was a forró band to play country polkas, and a “bumba-meu-boi” to boot.

Happy birthday, Princess Carolina!
Tuesday was Carolina’s 2nd birthday!! For her birthday, I decided that she should get not only a huge pile of presents to contribute to her future ADD fund, but also a blog just for her! It takes us forever to get pictures of her online to our SnapFish account, and whenever we do, they tend to come in avalanches. This is a way that you can watch her grow in small steps, one picture at a time.
She’s a big girl now, and what’s more, she’s a PRINCESS! Check out these recent pictures of her in some of her favorite outfits:

The princess is bored, bored, bored...
Aha! a new game!
And, finally, Carolina shows her stuff while dancing in a princess-like dress for “Festa Junina” (the dress comes courtesy of her cousin Camila):
Dance! ...but always keep one eye on the mirror
Olé!
And with that introduction, I’ll sign off. Stayed tuned for more pictures coming soon of her birthday, plus some of my favorites that were taken in the last few months.
