A Birthday Party

Carmen (who you have seen many times on this blog) held her fourth birthday party today!  Mimi's Cupcakes was the appropriate place, as cupcakes seem to be the thing now.
Diana and I have been to all 4 of Carmen's birthday parties, and part of the fun is seeing her friends, year after year, growing up as she is! I have photos of them since they were 1 year old, unable yet to walk in many cases. Now they are just terrors at times, fueled, I am sure, by the sugar that they consume.
While I got a lot of photos of the party, here are three that touched me the most.
