August 2oth was Mia's birthday - 1 year old! How does the time go by so fast!? I think child #4 is getting the shaft in our family...we didn't get her anything for her birthday and I didn't even make a cake! That day while at the store I was beginning to feel guilty so I bought some cupcakes so we could sing to her that night. She loved the song, hated the cupcake. hahaha She was able to open a gift from Grandma and Grandpa though and all enjoyed that. It was a doll and when she (Luca) got it open, Diego said "What do you do with that?" ah, yes, we are used to a house full of boys around here. She knew exactly what to do though...she gave it a kiss right away. Luca loves to feed the baby and put her to bed in a box with the top shut tight. oh, it is so fun to see how his mind works.
On Sunday the 23rd we had family over for cake and ice cream to celebrate both my birthday and Mia's. Jamie made Whacky cake for me and Mia loved it also! Homemade over store bought did the trick! She enjoyed it this time around! It was a fun evening and a great excuse to be with family.
On Tuesday August 25th (my birthday) Udine took off work to be with me all day! Woohoo! I was so excited when I found this out! I have the best husband in the world! He lined up babysitters for the whole day! Jana took Luca and Mia. Jamie took Diego and Alessandro after school was out. Thanks guys! We went to Park city for the day and walked the outlet malls, went to a movie (GI-Joe) and went out to eat at Carrabas. It was so nice! So strange without any kids, but so wonderful to spend the whole day with Udine. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday...Udine spoiled me rotten. :)
Don't feel guilty - our number one and number two kids are already getting the shaft!!! We got them each one gift for their one year bdays I think. And I think I made some cupcakes last minute too - out of guilt! Much like you! And last year Alan was gone for Kambree's 2nd bday and Cody's 1st bday, so there wasn't much happening for those. I was lucky to remember which day was their birthday, let alone make a cake and have a party!!!! My point? Don't feel bad - at least your first 3 got special attention! :)
