Happy First Birthday, Aria-Bella!






We were very excited to spend time with Kevin's dear friend, Frankie, and her family, as we celebrated her daughter, Aria-Bella's, first birthday! Frankie & Kevin had been friends for years before I met her for the first time the night before our wedding -- Frankie proved a complete saint, jumping right in to help organize & set up for our reception so that I could get ready for the ceremony (she will always be a hero to me!).

Quintin had a wonderful time playing with Frankie's son, Benjamin, and the rest of the big boys at the party! Mommy had fun relaxing with Frankie and the other women, tasting the amazing Filipino food Frankie & her family brought to share. Kevin & Dennis (Frankie's husband), along with the rest of the "Dads," kept the kids entertained with games of football & chase.

It was certainly an afternoon to be treasured & Quintin still talks about Benjamin and "his baby sister dat had dat birfday at da park." And, Aria-Bella apparently made quite an impression, since for weeks afterward, Quintin begged for a baby sister like Benjamin's... ;-)
