Here's the cake. There's a story behind this one. While I was writing Matteo's name, my bag of icing burst, leaving a huge glob of yellow icing on top of the "M." This happened as Matteo was standing beside me watching. He stared in disbelief for a couple of seconds, and then went running off into the living room yelling, "Mommy messed up my cake!!!!" He decided in the end that it was fixed to his satisfaction :)
Here are the traditional birthday balloons from Aunt Ginny!
Ahhhh, here comes my baby sister to steal them!!!
Here's a look at some of the present-opening!
Everyone has to join in the fun!
These are some very cool new cars from Aunt Ginny that can be taken apart and rebuilt, mixing and matching the pieces.
Here is Matteo trying out his new binoculars from Grandma and Pipa to gaze upon his balloons that have floated to the ceiling :) :)
Here is the birthday boy taking a break from opening a present from Aunts Mary and Dot, and cousins Heather and Katie, to investigate the jar of slime that came along with the box of goodies. This slime has been quite fascinating around here!
Finally, it was time to have some birthday cake!! (Chiara still has remnants of the pizza feast that we had recently finished on her face!)
And, now for a little singing!
Happy birthday, Matteo! We love you!!!
