feliz cumpleanios anios emipoo

photos stolen from anne... cause they're so good.
Saturday was Emilia's birthday party. We had a grand time surrounded by lots and lots of friends and neighbors and a whopping 18 kids with their parental units. The chicken/fried yuca/maduros from Gennaros were a total hit (we had 2 pieces of chicken left), the cupcakes from Edible Art were yummy as always, and the birthday girl couldn't believe how many people were here for her "cumpleanios anios" (seriously, she kept telling me during the party "mama, fiesta ninos Emi" (Mama, party, kids, Emi...) so sweet.
so it might look a little odd, but marcus & i are looking away because we're both crying (well, i'm crying, marcus i'm sure just has something in his eye). they're singing "happy birthday" to her which instantly takes me back to that hospital room and seeing her for the first time. in my head i'm singing to her "las mananitas" - the very first song i sang to her minutes after she was born.
