Happy Birthday Luca!!

Happy Birthday Luca! 3 years old on January 29th!!! Luca LOVES Dora so we got him a big Dora balloon that he carried around all day. We also got him Dora party hats because when we would ask him what he wanted for his birthday he'd say party hats. :) We had such a fun day. Mia, Luca and I just played and had fun all day. The day was totally about Luca and you could tell he really enjoyed it. We went out for some treats, met up with Udine for lunch at McDonald's, it was great to be able to do fun and out of the ordinary things with him that I normally don't get to do with him. I have never seen him so excited and so happy. It was great. I'll write in another post about his milestones and what he's like as he turns 3 because right now he and Mia won't stop bugging me on the computer. :) Anyway....here is his birthday summary.

I love this picture because it captures the joy and excitement in his face. Pure happiness.

Luca and his Dora cake. Udine couldn't stop teasing me and saying that I made an African Dora not a Hispanic one. (I couldn't find the right coloring for the skin and after looking at 3 different stores I decided brown would have to be good enough). He didn't seem to care at all. Although, I did hear Alessandro say "ooh, she has brown skin" after he looked at it for the first time. :)

His birthday was a Friday so we offered to watch the cousins for cousin night that day so he could have his cake with his cousins. He was in heaven.

On Saturday some of Udine's family came to celebrate birthdays. Brian and Julio's birthdays are on the 28th and Luca's is the 29th. So they invited some people over and we had dinner, cake and broke a pinata that they brought from Guatemala. It was Ben 10 and he was bigger than Luca! Good times.
