Cecilia's Birthday

Celebrating holidays and birthdays with family brings us so much joy. Cecilia's party had all the important components - decorations, cake, presents and lots of kids! Abigail just loves spending time with her cousins, so it's great that they live in another Chicago suburb not to far from my mom's house.



My mom's neighbor Giulia, a lovely lady from Italy, has become one of my friends and is also friends with Katie and Ellen (my brothers' wives). We occasionally work out together, visit one another's houses and have our kids' play together. Giulia has five beautiful children, the youngest of whom is about Abigail's age.
