Mari's 5th birthday arrived! We'd told her that it couldn't happen, that she's have to stay 4 longer. However, Mari said that God called and that she'd told Grandma, "Mari HAS to turn 5!" So that was that!
We spent the morning at swim class, then at Chrissy Field. It was a beautiful and crisp day. We found many shells and remnants of "unfortunate deaths" (e.g. crab, mussel and hermit crabs). They were used to decorate sand castles. I ended up with sand everywhere after an attempt to eat Mari and Kaia's noses. We went home when hunger called, worked a bit, then Grandma came to pick them up.
Mari's dinner choice was broccoli, chicken, and noodles with red sauce (the sauce she didn't end up eating). And she made a delicious fruit smoothie for dessert, blowing out one candle 5x for 5 wishes! Grandma, Papa, Don, Monique and Luca all joined us. She received really nice birthday calls and wishes from her godparents and Alessandra! Her smile was sweet and showed how much it all meant to her.
