Birthday Week Extravaganza
July is always a busy month for us because we are typically gearing up for "Birthday Week". Sonia turned 4 on July 21 and Neal turned 2 on July 24 - it is hard to believe how quickly time has flown by!
Sonia's Birthday
Each year, we celebrate Sonia's birthday at Red Robin - and we were lucky that Nana and Papa were able to join us. After dinner, we stopped by the Disney Store for a little browsing...let's just say that it is sensory overload to take 2 kids who just had ice cream to that store!
Birthday Party
This year, we continued the tradition of doing a joint birthday party and since our deck and backyard landscaping was (mostly) complete, it made the already sunny day even more enjoyable! And we even had Auntie Lolo (a loyal follower of this blog!) come in for the celebrations - we were so lucky and excited to have her! We had many of the kids' friends and families join us at the party.There was even a fashion show that took place during the party - the kids got dressed up and put it together all by themselves! My tradition for birthday parties is that I always make the dessert. This year was no exception and I made Princess and Mickey Mouse themed cupcakes - quite a production!
Neal's Birthday
Neal's big day was on the 24th and again, we had a sunny and beautiful day! We went to a nearby park on the beach and then headed to Tutta Bella, one of our favorite pizza restaurants before heading to Baskin Robbins for ice cream. Neal destroyed his birthday hat within minutes (but not until after we got a photo) and then at Baskin Robbins he stole my ice cream cone and kept it as his own...until, he dropped the ice cream scoop on the cement floor. It was very funny/devastating!

Dominican Republic!
June and July have been very busy for us, as we have spent quite a bit of the time traveling. We went to New Jersey for a week, (including a trip to Sesame Place) and then to the Dominican Republic for another week (with Ammamma, Tata, Aparna, Scott and Milo!) and had such a fabulous time! We wrapped up our east coast trip with a trip to MD to attend a wedding. What fun!
