HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY LUCA!
Our precious baby of the family, how can it be four years already since we welcomed you in to the world?! Luca, you bring so much life, energy, joy, laughter and love to our family. We are so thankful for just who God has made you. We wouldn't trade you for the world! We pray that you will trust in Jesus and make him king of your life at a young age. We pray that all that fierce determination and will in your personality will be directed and energized to serving Jesus unwaveringly and zealously in your future. We are excited to witness how God will mature you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually this coming year. You are our precious little buddy and we love you SO SO much, Luca!
We started the birthday celebrations for Luca over the weekend and finished them out today. We had a small gathering of friends over on Saturday afternoon. We had originally planned to have a party on Sunday afternoon, but then on Friday we found out some families could no longer come on Sunday. We did a last minute switch to Saturday and I was glad that although it was a little rushed in getting a cake done and house cleaned etc. that I was able to then totally relax and recoup on Sunday.
Luca has recently gotten in to playing Super Mario Bros. Wii with his siblings. He was very excited about the idea of having a Mario birthday cake. I had a blast making it and just wish I had more cake space to place all the added figures that I had made. The cake was made from buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant...everything is edible!
I think that pretty much captures all sides of the cake

Patrizia & Aurora (neighbors and classmate of Samuel's)
Aurora and Emma love playing together...finally a girl to play with for Emma!
This morning Luca opened up presents from family and enjoyed some outside playtime with some new games and toys, helped washed the van and now is napping for the afternoon. Funny how Samuel was more excited about today than Luca. The first thing Samuel said as he popped up in his bed was "LUCA! Happy Birthday!"
