Pictures from Carolina’s Birthday Party (part 1)

They’re here! They’re here!!

Sure, it’s taken more than a month, but we finally managed to get the photos from Carolina’s birthday and pick out our favorites. It will probably take a few posts to get all the best ones up online, so let me start with some scenery:

As you may have guessed, we chose Nemo as the theme for her party. She sure do love fish! But she also loves dressing up as a princess (in case you didn’t know…), so we considered going with The Little Mermaid. Unfortunately, the cake and the decorations for that theme were just too ugly to place near our charming little girl, so Nemo-avec-Princess it was:

Bolo bolo bolo... Nemo cake! Daddy, cadê ice cream?

Now, what would a fish party be without… fish?

Hello! Are you my mommy?

I'm on a table... with chairs... wait! Am I dinner??

All the Betas found a new home, with a survival kit of care instructions and a week’s worth of food to boot! Unfortunately, they were so popular, none were left for Carolina. Maybe Santa will put a Christmas fish in her stocking this year…

Of course, what Carolina party would be complete without… the “pula-pula”?

That more or less covers the introductions. I’ll leave you with one more picture of sheer cuteness to tide you over until next time:

Stay tuned!

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:

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.
