Hello! What a week Victoria had as we celebrated her birthday! The night before her birthday, Victoria lost her 4th tooth. The tooth came out quite easy, so it did not put a dent in how absolutely excited she was about her big day! She was so excited about the day and woke up in a terrific mood (all smiles). Mommy brought cupcakes to school for Victoria to share with her classmates. She was beaming at the thought of everyone in her class (her new friends) singing Happy Birthday to her. After school, Victoria’s grandparents, uncle and cousin (along with Mommy and Daddy) were at the bus stop waiting to greet Victoria. We wanted to visit to be a surprise, so we did not tell her ahead of time. Her cousin caught her eye first and she was yelled his name with excitement. We had saved the top tier of the cake from Victoria’s birthday party for her actual birthday. So, after dinner, we lit the candles and sang her Happy Birthday (it seems that she enjoys it more each time she hears it...hahaha.).
If you remember a few weeks back, we made a birthday card for Victoria and sent it in to her favorite TV station (they have a Happy Birthday show, where they show a select number of cards and send out birthday wishes to kids). Victoria had been so excited making the card and wanted very much to see her card on the show. Of course, we knew that there was a somewhat limited possibility that it would make it on the show (considering the large number of cards they are sure to receive). Much to our delight and surprise, it made it on the show (it was the first one of the day). The look on her face was priceless as she officially became a TV star!
The day after Victoria’s birthday, they had a Halloween parade at her school. All of the kids in the school dressed up in their costumes and got to walk around the outside of the school twice for parents/family to see. For the school parade, Victoria was a beautiful princess dressed up as Sleeping Beauty.
On Halloween, Victoria’s grandmother, aunt, uncle and cousin joined us for some Trick or Treating (it was her cousin’s first Halloween too). Victoria dressed up in her cat costume and we headed out despite the fact that the weather was not fully cooperating at first (rainy). Fortunately, it settled down and Victoria seemed to have a better time as the weather improved. While we were out, Victoria saw some friends from school. It was really nice watching how much fun they all had talking to one another (mostly about their take in the candy department). It’s great to see how much more social she is getting. After the week that was, we had a nice relaxing day at home on Sunday. It was a fitting end to an exciting week!
Here are some pictures from the week…
